BILSTEIN B6 Front Strut Upgrade for BMW X6 E71 E72

Give your BMW X6 sharper steering and rock-solid body control with the BILSTEIN B6 front suspension strut. This uprated gas-pressure unit is a direct replacement for the original shock on E71 and E72 models that do not have self levelling and do not have a third seating row. Keep standard ride height, gain confident handling and enjoy a more composed drive on British roads.
