Bilstein 22-298539 Front Nearside Suspension Strut for BMW G01 X3, G02 X4, G08 iX3

Refresh the front end of your BMW with the Bilstein B4 part number 22-298539. This front nearside shocker is a direct-fit, factory-grade suspension leg that brings back the tight, composed ride you expect from a premium BMW SUV. If your X3, X4 or iX3 feels bouncy, knocks over potholes, nose-dives under braking or shows uneven tyre wear, this replacement damper restores control, comfort and confidence.

We fit Bilstein B4 units on our own cars and for customers, and the result is consistently excellent. Smooth on British roads, stable at motorway speeds and reassuring in quick direction changes. It is a brilliant stock-height replacement for daily driving and spirited B-road use.
