Bilstein B6 Sport Rear Left Shock Absorber (Damper) for BMW X5 F15 & X5 M F85 – Nearside/NSR Gas Monotube – Uprated Fast Road – Standard Suspension/OE Height – Direct-Fit Replacement – Single

Rear Nearside Performance Shock for BMW X5 F15 and X5 M F85 - Standard Height - Single Unit

Give your X5 tighter control and a more planted feel with the Bilstein B6 rear nearside shock. This uprated gas-pressure monotube unit is engineered to work with the original coil spring on standard-height models, delivering crisp body control, sharper turn-in and improved stability without altering ride height. It is a top choice for fast-road use and a superb replacement when the factory shock has softened.

We use these on customer cars and the feedback is consistently positive: less float, better composure over rough B-roads and a confident, OEM-like ride quality with a clear performance edge. If you want a premium rear shock solution for a BMW X5 F15 or BMW X5 M F85 with standard chassis, this B6 is the sweet spot.

Why this upgrade stands out

• Monotube gas technology for fade-resistant damping and precise control
• Tuned valving to complement factory springs on standard chassis vehicles
• Keeps stock ride height - no lowering required
• Improves grip, reduces pitch and roll, enhances high-speed stability
• Direct-fit replacement built to meet or exceed OE quality
• Perfect for refreshing tired suspension or adding fast-road confidence
