Bilstein B6 Uprated Rear Shock for BMW 5 Series E61 Estate 2004-2010 - Single

Transform the way your E61 drives with this Bilstein B6 rear gas-charged damper. It is a direct replacement for the factory rear shock on BMW 5 Series E61 Touring models running stock suspension and without electronic damping control. Sold individually for one side of the back axle.

Why this B6 upgrade is a winner

• Immediate handling improvement while keeping original ride height
• Monotube gas pressure design for consistent damping and fade resistance
• Model-specific valving calibrated for the E61 rear end
• Sharper turn-in, tighter body control and calm, composed stability under braking and cornering
• Direct-fit replacement that works perfectly with factory springs and OE top mounts
• Built to cope with rough British roads, delivering control and comfort

We run Bilstein B6 on our own cars and our customers love the difference. Expect a more planted rear, improved grip on uneven surfaces and a confident, premium feel without lowering the vehicle. If your original shocks are tired, this is the OE-plus performance upgrade that brings your E61 back to life.
