The BMW E46 M3 is considered by many to be one of the greatest sports cars ever produced, and maintaining its incredible handling should be a priority for every owner. Made by the leaders of the industry, the Bilstein B6 range of gas shock absorbers are an excellent choice for owners wanting to improve upon handling characteristics of their M3, but still ensuring road-biased comfort at the same time. Compared to the original shocks that were fitted from the factory, the quality of Bilstein’s designs and the components used are in a completely different league. This means that they provide much better shock absorption, and the damping rates are able to be more finely tuned by Bilstein’s engineers who develop these struts at the Nurburgring. For many driving enthusiasts, the direct-replacement Bilstein B6 shock absorber is the perfect upgrade, utilising quality components that make the original factory-fitted shocks look and feel like antiques.
