Bilstein B8 Sprint (Performance Plus) Rear Shock Absorber (Single) for BMW 5 Series E60 2003-2010 – Short-Stroke Sport Rear Damper for Lowered Suspension & Fast Road | Gas Pressure Monotube | Direct Fit OE Replacement

Bilstein B8 Rear Damper for BMW 5 Series E60 2003 to 2010

Give your E60 a serious handling upgrade with the Bilstein B8 rear damper. Built for cars that run a lowered ride height, this uprated rear shock keeps the suspension in the sweet spot, sharpening steering response and boosting stability while maintaining daily comfort. If you want your BMW 5 Series to feel tighter, more controlled and more confidence inspiring on fast road driving, this is a proven bolt-on solution that works.

Key benefits

• Gas pressurised mono-tube construction for consistent, fade resistant damping on road and spirited use.
• Short-stroke design matched to lowering springs to prevent bottoming out and keep travel optimised.
• Vehicle specific damping calibration tailored to the E60 chassis for balanced control and comfort.
• Sharper turn in, reduced body roll, less squat under acceleration and less dive under braking.
• Direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points and original hardware.
• Supplied as one rear unit for the rear axle. For best results replace in pairs.

What you will feel

More grip, more composure and a planted rear end that tracks cleanly over uneven British roads. Compared with standard replacements, the B8 keeps the suspension working in its ideal range with lowering springs, improving traction and precision without making the ride harsh.
