Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber (Damper) – BMW 6 Series Convertible E64 2004–2010 – Monotube, Lowering Spring Compatible – Direct Fit OE Upgrade – Sold Individually

Bilstein B8 Sport Rear Shock for BMW 6 Series E64 Convertible 2004-2010

Transform the back end of your BMW 6 Series Cabriolet with the Bilstein B8 sport rear shock. This gas pressure monotube unit is the go-to upgrade for sharper road feel, taut body control and confident high-speed stability. Designed as a straight swap for the factory rear shocker, it delivers a precise, planted drive on British B-roads while maintaining everyday comfort.

Pair it with shorter springs or a lowering kit for the ideal stance and response. The B8 is engineered to work with reduced ride heights, maintaining control through rapid compression and rebound so your E64 cabrio feels tighter, more responsive and more predictable in corners.
