Bilstein 33-52-6-796-470 Sport Rear Shock Absorber - B6

The Bilstein 33-52-6-796-470 is a B6 Sport rear shock absorber engineered for BMW 3 Series applications. Built around Bilstein's signature monotube gas pressure technology, this shock delivers a meaningful performance upgrade over the factory damper while retaining everyday drivability on standard chassis vehicles.

The B6 Sport series is the ideal solution when increased damping power is required without committing to a full competition-spec setup. Using high-pressure nitrogen gas and a floating piston design, the shock instantaneously self-adjusts to changing road surfaces and resists performance fade from heat, age, and continuous use. The result is sharper body control, reduced brake dive, and improved lane-change stability in both normal and demanding driving conditions.

Key Features:

• Monotube gas pressure construction — single-tube design provides more responsive damping versus twin-tube units
• High-pressure nitrogen gas with floating piston — prevents aeration and maintains consistent performance
• Approximately 20% firmer than OE — improves body roll and brake dive without a harsh ride
• Designed for standard (stock-height) chassis — optimized for vehicles on factory suspension
• Fits left or right rear position — single unit sold per listing
• Made in Germany — manufactured to Bilstein's OE-grade quality standards
• Bilstein number cross-reference: 24-120395
• OEM cross-reference: 33526796470

This shock absorber is a direct-fit rear replacement, sold individually. For a complete rear suspension refresh, two units are required per vehicle.
