Hi,
I have this e34 touring -bmw. I would like to get coilovers for that but the problem is that all I can find is an coil-set for e34 sedan.
So i was wondering does the e34 -sedans coilovers fit to an touring?

I am trying to find suspension for my touring as well.
At this point I know the M5 and the Touring share the same air assisted rear suspension, so I figure the simplest thing to do is just find M5 coilovers.
I think I am just going to build something custom at work; however I may just run bags for a little more practicality...
hope this was helpful

I've heard you can run e34 sedan coils but you need to loop the SLS lines. I'd ask in the e34 section on BFC, they'll be more helpful.

There are a few ways to get around the SLS system like looping the system and welding the lines shut, but i think your better off getting the normal power steering pump and removing all the SLS equipment. The first thing i did to my M6 was get rid of the SLS and swap in shocks and springs for a 635. To lower your car get a set of coilovers or shocks/springs and strut mounts for a 525 and just swap them in.

Simple enough...
time to call the pull-a-part.

Just ordered an d2 -coilover -set for e34 sedan 525, and a littlebit stiffer rearsprings. I'll keep you posted.

Back from the dead... just installed K-Sport coilovers on my Touring last weekend. SLS deleted, no codes, still might go lower.
