Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Shock Absorber for BMW X5 F15 X6 F16 — Overview
The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus is a monotube shock absorber built for F15 X5s and F16 X6s running standard steel spring suspension. The monotube design runs cooler and responds faster than the OEM twin-tube units, and Bilstein's digressive valving is tuned specifically for the weight and geometry of these platforms - not a generic SUV application. Part number 24-272681 covers the front axle on F15 X5 models from 2013 to 2017 and F16 X6 from 2014 to 2018.
Pick these over the B4 OEM replacement if you want a noticeable handling improvement rather than a straight factory swap. The firmer valving tightens up body roll and gives the front end more composure in corners without making the ride genuinely punishing on the street. Not compatible with xDrive vehicles running factory electronic damper control - check your build before ordering.
