Bilstein B6 24-027243 Rear Damper Unit for BMW E36 3 Series 1990 to 1999 Non M

Transform the back end of your BMW E36 with the Bilstein B6 24-027243 rear damper. This uprated rear shocker is a direct-fit OE upgrade that delivers tighter body control, sharper turn-in and superb stability on British roads, while keeping everyday comfort intact. It works perfectly with factory coil springs at standard ride height, making it the ideal fast-road suspension upgrade for E36 Saloon, Coupe, Cabriolet and Touring models that are not M variants.

Built around Bilstein’s single-tube high pressure gas technology, this performance rear strut resists fade, improves grip over rough surfaces and keeps the car composed over bumps, fast B-road sections and motorway miles. Our team at MJ Modifications has fitted plenty of these on customer E36 builds and our own cars. Feedback is consistently glowing on steering precision, rear-end stability and confidence under braking and cornering.
