Bilstein B8 sports shocks and struts for BMW F-series rear-wheel-drive models

Transform the way your BMW turns in, grips and rides with this uprated shock absorber set. The Bilstein B8 short-stroke dampers deliver taut control, crisp steering feel and real confidence on B-roads and motorways while keeping daily comfort intact. Ideal for non-EDC, two-wheel-drive 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series and 4 Series, including popular M135i, M140i, M235i, M240i, 340i and 440i models.

We run B8s on our own builds and our customers love the result: a planted chassis, reduced pitch and roll, and a composed, OEM-plus ride quality. If you’re chasing a fast-road suspension upgrade that works brilliantly with factory springs or quality lowering springs, this is the go-to choice.
