Bilstein B8 24-109666 Rear Shock / Damper for BMW 5 Series E60 Saloon 2003-2010 – Performance Plus Monotube Gas Short-Stroke Shock Absorber for Lowered & Sport Suspension (No Self-Levelling) | E60 Rear Shocker Upgrade Replacement

Bilstein B8 Rear Damper 24-109666 for BMW E60 5 Series 2003 to 2010

Give your E60 the sharp, planted feel it deserves with the Bilstein B8 rear damper, part number 24-109666 (SKU: BILSTEIN-24-109666). Designed as a short-body, gas-charged single-tube unit, it pairs perfectly with lowering springs and factory sport chassis, delivering tighter body control, confident stability and crisp response on fast road driving.

We run these on our own builds and have fitted countless sets for customers. The verdict is consistent: better turn-in, less squat and wallow, improved composure over rough tarmac and a sportier character that still works day to day. If you are refreshing tired rear shocks or completing a lowered setup, this is the premium performance upgrade that makes the whole car feel right.

Highlights

• Short-stroke performance damper optimised for cars on lowering springs or OE sport suspension
• Gas-charged single-tube architecture for fade-resistant damping and consistent control

• Keeps lowered springs properly preloaded for tighter handling and stability
• Individually road-tested by Bilstein for predictable, confidence-inspiring behaviour
