Fitment Notes

• Always match OEM reference number(s) and vehicle details before ordering. Confirm exact fitment using VIN, engine code, or chassis number if multiple variants exist.
• This kit is designed for the BMW E60 saloon and E61 touring (2003–2011). Both body styles share the same front suspension layout. The kit covers models from the 520D through to the 550i V8. Confirm your vehicle matches the listed engine code and production year before ordering. Verify VIN and engine code with your vehicle documentation or dealer.

Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

• Replace all front suspension components simultaneously to ensure balanced handling and even tyre wear.
• A four-wheel alignment is required after fitting new control arms and tie rod ends.
• Torque all fasteners to BMW-specified values using a calibrated torque wrench.
• Inspect front subframe mounting points and bushings for corrosion or damage before installation.
• The tie rod ends (15765AP) include rack ends — check steering rack boot condition during installation.
• Check ball joint boots for tears after 20,000 km to maintain joint lubrication.

Common Questions

Does this kit fit both the E60 saloon and E61 touring?
Yes. The BMW E60 (saloon) and E61 (touring) share identical front suspension geometry, so all 8 components in this kit are compatible with both body styles.

Does this kit include upper and lower control arms?
Yes. The kit includes two upper control arms (13067AP/13069AP at 302 mm) and two lower control arms (13071AP/13072AP at 422 mm), covering both levels of the E60 double-wishbone front suspension.

Do I need a wheel alignment after installation?
Yes. Replacing control arms and tie rod ends changes suspension geometry. A four-wheel alignment should be performed immediately after installation.
