Bilstein 24-264563 Rear Shock Upgrade for BMW F-Series 1 2 3 4

Unlock sharper handling and a more planted rear end with the Bilstein B8 rear shock, part number 24-264563. Built in Germany and tuned for cars without adaptive dampers, this shortened sport shock is the ideal partner for lowering springs or OE sport springs, giving your F-series BMW a tighter, more connected drive on British roads.

If you want crisper turn-in, reduced squat and roll, and confidence at speed without sacrificing daily comfort, this is the go-to rear suspension upgrade. We run these on our own cars and customer feedback has been superb, with owners praising the improved stability, steering feel and high-speed control.

Why it works

• Shortened sport shock design that complements lowering springs for proper travel and control
• Bilstein gas pressure monotube technology for consistent damping and fade resistance
• Fast response for better traction, tighter body control and a composed rear axle
• Direct-fit rear shock unit for vehicles without electronic damping
• Engineered and manufactured in Germany for OE-level durability

Perfect for
