Bilstein 22-103093 B4 Front Left Shock Absorber (NSF) for BMW 3 Series E46 1998-2007 | OE Replacement Gas Twin-Tube Strut

BILSTEIN B4 22-103093 Front Left Strut for BMW 3 Series E46 1998-2007

Refresh the ride, steering feel and braking stability of your E46 with the BILSTEIN B4 front left suspension leg, part number 22-103093. This left-hand front unit is a factory-equivalent, gas-charged twin-tube damper that bolts straight in and restores the crisp, confident road manners your 3 Series deserves. Ideal for daily road use, MOT prep and full suspension refreshes on UK right-hand-drive cars where the left is the near side front.

We fit these on our own builds and customer vehicles, and the feedback is consistently positive: tighter body control, smoother ride over poor surfaces and a planted feel without adding harshness. If your original shocker is leaking, bouncy or crashy, this OE-level replacement puts your BMW back to how it should drive from the showroom.

Highlights

• Left-hand front fitment for BMW 3 Series E46 platform, UK passenger side NSF
• Gas-charged twin-tube construction for consistent damping and dependable road holding
• Factory-match ride quality with sharper control compared to tired or worn units
• Direct-fit strut design with bottom spring seat and top pin mounting
• Trusted BILSTEIN durability for long service life

Why it is a great choice

• Restores comfort and composure without changing ride height
• Improves stability under braking and through corners
• Excellent everyday drivability for Saloon, Touring, Coupé and Convertible models
• Perfect stock replacement for OE struts that have lost damping performance

Tip: For even handling and braking performance, replace dampers in axle pairs. The corresponding right-hand front unit for E46 is available separately.
