Rear Suspension Damper Upgrade for BMW G30 5 Series and F90 M5 - Bilstein B6 - Part No. 24-279789

Give your BMW a serious handling boost with the Bilstein B6 rear shocker, part number 24-279789. This direct-fit rear damper is a premium OE-level improvement that tightens body control, increases rear axle grip and keeps your car composed on fast A-roads, B-roads and motorways while maintaining everyday comfort. No spring change required and no coding needed. Just fit and enjoy sharper response and confidence on British roads.

We use these B6 units on our own builds and customer cars and the feedback is consistent every time. Better traction out of corners, calmer lane changes at speed and a planted, stable rear end in all weather. If you want a quality replacement for tired factory shocks or a meaningful suspension upgrade without going to coilovers, this is the sweet spot.

Why this Bilstein B6 rear damper is a smart choice

  • Gas-pressure monotube design for consistent damping and high traction under hard use
  • Optimised for standard suspension springs and factory ride height
  • Excellent high-speed stability and reduced pitch and roll
  • Extra damping reserves for xDrive models, loaded cars and towing
  • Each unit road tested by Bilstein for precision and safety
  • Durable construction for daily driving and spirited runs

What you will notice

  • Cleaner turn in and reduced wallow over undulations
  • Improved rear-end composure on uneven UK tarmac
  • Greater confidence in wet and dry, with tyres kept in better contact
  • Refined, controlled ride quality without harshness
