Product Details

The B6 Performance line is Bilstein’s performance-oriented damper range for drivers who want improved suspension control while retaining the factory spring. On the BMW 320i, rear shock absorber tuning matters for stability, cornering feel, and ride consistency, and this monotube design helps deliver predictable damping under changing road conditions. Part number 24-006125 is a direct-fit rear suspension shock absorber for 1977-1983 BMW 320i models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Loose or unsettled handling in the BMW 320i
• Reduced damping control from worn OE shocks
• Inconsistent ride quality during braking and cornering
• Rear suspension response that no longer matches factory spring behavior

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1977-1983 BMW 320i, rear. Verify upper stem and lower eye 10.1 mm mounting points before installation. This shock absorber is intended for use with the OE factory spring, and the rear position should be inspected for worn bushings, mounts, or related suspension wear before replacement. Part number 24-006125 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear application and mounting style before ordering.
