Give your E46 four wheel drive BMW the fresh, taut feel it deserves. The Bilstein B4 19-220598 rear damper is an OE-spec gas pressure twin tube unit designed to restore stock road manners, confident stability and day-to-day comfort on UK tarmac. Ideal when your original shock is worn, weeping or causing bounce and uneven tyre wear, this direct replacement offers factory-matched control without harshness.

We fit these in our own workshop and customers consistently report sharper composure, better grip in wet conditions and a smooth, quiet ride. If you want OEM-level performance from a brand you can trust, this is the go-to rear shock for xDrive E46 cars.
