Bilstein B6 Performance (Sport) Rear Shock Absorber (Each) for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) - Non-EDC, Standard Chassis, OE Replacement Monotube

Bilstein B6 Sport Rear Damper for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 – back axle, sold individually

Give your BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 the razor-sharp control it deserves with the Bilstein B6 Sport rear damper. This is a premium direct replacement for tired original shocks, engineered for drivers who want tighter body control, improved stability and confident road holding without lowering the car or sacrificing everyday comfort.

Designed to work perfectly with factory springs on the F45 platform, the B6 uses Bilstein’s gas-pressurised single-tube technology and application-specific valving to deliver precise damping on British B-roads, fast A-roads and motorway miles. The result is a composed, planted rear end with reduced roll, better traction out of corners and more confidence under braking.

Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• Transforms rear-end control and steering response on the F45 while keeping stock ride height
• Gas-charged single-tube design for consistent, fade-resistant performance
• Bolt-on replacement built to original equipment standards for durability and reliability
• Works brilliantly for daily driving and fast-road use across mixed UK surfaces
• Ideal when original shocks are worn or when you want a genuine handling upgrade without going harsh

Compatibility

• BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 – rear position, sold per unit
• For vehicles with standard suspension using OE coil springs
• Not suitable for cars fitted with adaptive or electronically controlled damping systems

What our workshop and customers say
