Bilstein B6 DampTronic Front Strut for BMW 5 Series E61 Touring with EDC

Transform the way your BMW 5 Series estate drives with the Bilstein B6 DampTronic front strut. Purpose built for E61 models equipped with EDC electronic damping, this premium gas pressure damper is a straight swap for the factory unit and keeps your adaptive suspension fully functional. Expect crisper turn in, reduced body movement and rock solid composure on B-roads and motorways, all while retaining ride comfort and standard ride height.

Engineered with Bilstein’s proven monotube technology and vehicle specific calibration, the B6 delivers sharper control under braking and cornering without the harshness of a track coilover. It is the ideal OE-quality performance replacement for tired original shocks on the front axle.

Why this upgrade works

The B6 DampTronic is tuned to complement the E61’s adaptive system, giving you firmer, more controlled damping exactly when you need it. On rough roads it stays composed and comfortable, on fast road driving it resists roll, dive and squat for more confidence and grip. We run Bilstein on our own cars and customer feedback is consistently positive about the improvement in confidence and road holding.
