Bilstein B4 Rear Damper Unit — BMW 5 Series E60 Saloon — Part No. 19-212722

Give your 5 Series E60 its crisp, confident feel back with this Bilstein B4 gas charged rear damper. Part number 19-212722 is a direct fit for the rear of BMW E60 models with standard suspension, without levelling control. Built to genuine OEM standards, it brings back the smooth ride, planted grip and stable braking you expect from a well sorted BMW on British roads.

At MJ Modifications we have installed this Bilstein B4 on many customer 5 Series saloons and on our own cars. Feedback is consistent, with owners reporting tighter body control, less bounce over bumps, better traction out of corners and that fresh-from-factory composure.

Why this Bilstein B4 makes sense for your E60

• Plug and play fitment on the rear of BMW 5 Series E60 saloon models

• OEM grade performance that restores comfort and confidence
• Balances ride quality with precise control for daily driving, long motorway runs and fast B roads

• Mounting style: bottom eye and top pin for a straightforward install
• Ideal when your back end feels floaty, bouncy or unsettled, or if tyre wear is uneven
