Description

Made by the leaders of the industry, the Bilstein B8 shock absorbers are a premium shock absorber with superior internal hardware & design. Intended for M-Sport models, lowered vehicles, or those looking to upgrade to the best sports shocks for usable street/track performance. Designed for those searching for a road-biased performance gas shock yet is still comfortable and useable day-to-day. Developed and fine-tuned by Bilstein’s own engineers at the Nurburgring, their patented mono-tube technology helps to ensure the handling of your E34 is dramatically improved from the factory specifications. For many driving enthusiasts the Bilstein B8 shock absorber is the perfect upgrade, utilising quality components that make the original factory-fitted shocks look and feel like antiques. The Bilstein B8s are direct-replacement shock absorbers providing increased longevity and come complete with dust boot and internal bump stop. 

BMW fitted different shock absorber sizes to the E34 520i, 525i, and 535i, and the easiest way to be sure which ones you have is to remove the dust cap off the upper strut mount under the bonnet and check the size of the nut. This Bilstein B8 strut insert is for vehicles fitted with a 22mm nut.

Helpful tips
