Bilstein continues to be the best performance shock upgrade available for your BMW. Bilstein is the preferred choice for premium and upgrade shock absorbers for vehicle manufacturers and tuners. Almost all BMW tuners from Germany, such as Alpina, AC Schnitzer, Hartge, and others use specially valved Bilstein shocks. Bilstein's monotube and digressive shock technology wins overs customers and keeps them at the forefront of the performance shock market. They engineer and build each shock for the respective application, ensuring trouble-free fitment and use with OE-type mounts and guarantee their shocks with a lifetime warranty.

Turner Motorsport has been selling Bilstein shocks since 1993 and we are one of the most trusted and knowledgeable Bilstein dealers in the world. What does that mean to you? It means that we get our Bilsteins direct from Bilstein North America, not from a third party distributor. Our inventory is new and fresh, not old stock released from a closed warehouse. So you know you're getting new product and the latest revision available. Our Bilstein department is managed by a shock engineer with years of hands-on racing experience who handles nearly all of our Bilstein technical support questions. Only an authorized Bilstein dealer can offer you such quick service and turn around. A shop that buys Bilstein from a third party distributor can't come close to this customer and warranty support! Super low, hard to pass up prices on Bilstein usually comes with little or no after-sale support, so buyer beware!
