Bilstein B6 Sport Rear Shock Absorber/Strut Damper for BMW 5 Series E60 Saloon 2003-2010 (Non Self-Levelling) (Std Springs) - Uprated Performance Gas-Charged Heavy Duty Shocker Replacement - Part 24-109642

Bilstein B6 Rear Sport Shocker for BMW E60 5 Series Saloon | P/N 24-109642

Transform the way your E60 drives with this uprated rear shocker from Bilstein. If your 5 Series feels loose, bouncy or tired, this B6 rear unit restores tight body control, sharper responses and real confidence on UK roads while keeping everyday comfort intact. It is a direct bolt-on rear suspension upgrade for the BMW E60 saloon running standard springs and without rear self-levelling.

We have installed these on customer cars and our own builds at MJ Modifications, and the feedback is consistently positive. Owners report a more planted rear end, better traction out of bends and calmer behaviour over rough tarmac. It is the ideal rear shock replacement when you want stronger damping and OE-level refinement without going to coilovers.

• Gas-charged single-tube design gives crisp, consistent control and excellent road holding
• Reduces roll, squat and dive for cleaner cornering and confident braking
• Engineered to work with factory springs for a straightforward swap
