Bilstein B6 35-109631 Uprated Front Strut for BMW 5 Series E60 E61

Looking for a direct-fit front suspension upgrade for your 5 Series that sharpens steering and boosts stability without ruining ride comfort? The Bilstein B6 front strut, part number 35-109631, is the go-to pressurised single-tube, inverted design front damper for BMW E60 Saloon and E61 Touring models from 2003 to 2010. Ideal if you’re searching for a sport shocker, heavy duty front strut, fast road damper, OE-spec replacement front suspension leg or BMW 5 Series front shock upgrade.

We run B6 on our own builds and customer cars across the UK. Feedback is consistently brilliant: tighter body control, calmer turn-in, better grip on bumpy B-roads and more confidence at motorway speeds. It works perfectly with standard springs, so you keep factory ride height while gaining the control you want.

Why this B6 front strut transforms your 5 Series

• OEM-quality fit with performance-focused damping for the front axle
• Inverted single-tube construction for superior strength and fade resistance
• Pressurised design delivers consistent control, traction and steering precision
• Reduces body roll and brake dive without the harshness of cheap coilovers
• Excellent for daily driving, fast road use, towing and fully loaded trips
• Works with factory springs and top mounts for a straightforward install
