They are similar in that they are both dampers. That's about it.

Bilstein:
Monotube construction
Lighter (good for reducing unsprung weight)
Greater damper body diameter
Highly damped non-adjustable

Koni
traditional 2 piece
Thinner (helps with fitting bigger wheels and tires without spacers)
adjustable damping

B8 and B6 have identical valving. The piston stroke is physically shorter on the B8 to accommodate springs that lower the car 30mm or more.
