Bilstein 22-197672 B4 Front Left Shock Absorber Strut Damper (NSF) OE Replacement for BMW X3 F25 2010-2017 & X4 F26 2013-2018

Bilstein 22-197672 B4 Front Left Damper Unit for BMW X3 F25 and BMW X4 F26

Bring back crisp steering, planted road holding and factory-spec comfort with this left-hand front suspension strut from Bilstein, part number 22-197672. Designed as a direct replacement on the UK nearside front for BMW X3 F25 2010-2017 and BMW X4 F26 2013-2018, this OEM-spec gas pressure strut restores stability, reduces dive and roll, and cures the bounce and knock you get from a tired shocker.

If your X3 or X4 feels floaty, crashes over bumps or has started to leak, this is the correct LH front damper to bring it back to how it should feel from new.

Key reasons to choose this Bilstein B4 strut

• OE-level quality and fitment for confidence on British roads
• Twin-tube gas pressure design for consistent control under load and heat
• Direct bolt-on on the front axle left side - no modification required
• Improved stability, sharper turn-in and more predictable braking
• Durable construction for long service life and dependable daily use

At MJ Modifications, we have installed these units on customer cars and our own shop vehicles. Feedback is consistently positive, with owners praising the tighter body control, smoother ride and OEM feel once fitted.
