The BMW F11 5 Series Touring is one of the most practical estates BMW has built, and the 520i with its N20 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder is a popular choice for everyday driving. This silver F11 520i Touring with the M Sport look came to our workshop in Woerden for two upgrades that suit a daily-driven estate perfectly: a lower, more planted stance and a freer-flowing exhaust on the turbo side.
For the stance, we fitted Cobra Suspension lowering springs for the BMW 5 Series Touring 2WD F11 (part number 01.4268). These BMW F11 lowering springs bring the front of the car down by around 30 mm, closing the gap between tyre and wheel arch and giving the Touring a much sportier profile from every angle. Because the springs are designed specifically for the rear-wheel-drive F11 estate, they work with the original dampers and keep the ride comfortable enough for long trips and a loaded boot. A lower centre of gravity also helps the car feel more settled in corners and on fast motorway sweeps. For anyone looking for F11 520i lowering springs that keep the practicality of the Touring intact, this car shows the result.
Under the car, the factory downpipe was replaced with the DCE Parts N20 downpipe for the F07, F10 and F11 520i and 528i, in the version with a 200-cell high-flow catalytic converter. The downpipe is the first section of exhaust after the turbocharger, and on the N20 engine the restrictive standard part limits how freely exhaust gases can leave the turbo. The DCE stainless steel downpipe uses a larger, smoother flow path, which helps the turbo spool up more easily and gives the four-cylinder a fuller, deeper sound. The 200-cell high-flow catalyst keeps a catalytic converter in the system while flowing far better than the stock unit. A BMW N20 downpipe like this is also an ideal base for a software tune later on.
Together, the Cobra springs and the DCE 200-cell downpipe make this F11 520i Touring look and sound more purposeful, without giving up the comfort and space that make the 5 Series estate such a good all-rounder. Both parts were installed by our own team in the PSR Parts workshop in Woerden.
