The Bilstein B6 range of shock absorbers are an excellent choice for owners wanting to upgrade to sportier handling characteristics and an improved ride on their 5 Series. 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. The Bilstein B6s are direct-replacement shock absorbers providing increased longevity, and come complete with dust boot and internal bump stop.
