Bilstein B6 Rear Shock Absorber 24-317962 - BMW 1 Series F40 & 2 Series Gran Coupe F44 (116i 118i 120i 128ti 116d 118d 120d 218i) Performance Rear Damper

Bilstein B6 Rear Damper Unit for BMW F40 and F44 | Part No. 24-317962

Give your BMW sharper rear-end control and confidence with the Bilstein B6 rear damper, part number 24-317962 (also referenced as BILSTEIN-24-317962). This OE-plus gas pressurised monotube shock is a direct-fit replacement for the back axle and pairs perfectly with factory coil springs. Expect tighter body control, improved stability on B-roads and motorways, and a composed ride for daily use and fast road driving.

At MJ Modifications we fit these regularly and the feedback is consistently positive. Customers report a more planted rear, crisper turn-in, reduced squat and less hop over rough surfaces. It is a genuine step up in handling without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Key reasons to choose this upgrade

• Performance-focused monotube design for precise damping and high traction
• Fade-resistant control during repeated bumps and spirited use
• OE-level refinement with stronger body control than standard equipment
• Works with original springs and ride height remains unchanged
• Individually road tested by Bilstein for each application
• Durable build engineered for long service life under demanding conditions
• No additional certification required for road use
