Bilstein B6 Sport Front Shock Absorber/Damper - BMW X5 (F15) & X5 M (F85) - Front Axle, Standard Chassis - Monotube OE Upgrade - Sold Individually

Bilstein B6 Performance Front Strut for BMW X5 F15 and BMW X5 M F85. A direct replacement that transforms front-end control on standard suspension cars while keeping factory ride height. Designed to work perfectly with original springs, this uprated front unit delivers sharper steering response, tighter body control and calm composure on British roads without making the ride harsh.

What it does for your X5 or X5 M

• Replaces tired front shock with a precision-engineered upgrade that restores confidence and grip
• Application-specific valving for crisp turn-in, reduced brake dive and flatter cornering
• Monotube construction for consistent damping and superior heat management on fast A-roads and motorways
• OEM-plus feel that improves stability and safety while maintaining everyday comfort
• Works with stock coils so there is no drop in ride height

Real-world feedback
