This gas-charged twin-tube damper is engineered to original equipment specification for the E36-based Z3, giving you the precise steering, stable cornering and smooth ride quality you expect from a properly sorted BMW. It is a direct bolt-on unit for the offside front and brings tired, bouncy or wallowy cars back to a confident, composed drive.

We run Bilstein B4 units on customer cars and in our own builds at MJ Modifications, and the feedback is consistently excellent. If you want OEM-level comfort with dependable control and predictable handling, this right-hand shock unit is the smart, value-packed choice.
