Bilstein B6 Heavy-Duty (HD) front strut insert for 7/1990-1992 E34 525i/530i/535i/540i/M5. It may fit other E34 models that have been changed/updated to this mid-production front mount. This application uses a dome-shaped dust cap with
2.5" underside diameter and an
M14 shock stem. It may have a 22mm hex nut.
If you're looking for added suspension performance - without changing springs - the Bilstein B6 Series shocks deliver noticeably better handling without hurting ride comfort. Bilstein HD shocks are direct replacements for the originals but with slightly stiffer valving for more control over body and suspension motions. Bilstein uses Digressive Valving on their shocks so fast shock speeds are set for softness (bumps and bad pavement) while slow shock speeds are stiffer (larger dips and cornering). The ride feels more controlled but not stiff and the shock self-adjusts softer to soak up bad pavement. Exceptional control, precise handling, and improved performance but without sacrificing comfort. You'll soon discover there is, quite literally, nothing like it.
