Bilstein 22-317391 | Nearside Front Damper for BMW F40 1 Series and F44 2 Series Gran Coupe

Refresh the way your BMW drives with this genuine-spec nearside front suspension leg from Bilstein. Part number 22-317391 is a direct-fit MacPherson strut for the front axle left side on the BMW 1 Series F40 and 2 Series Gran Coupé F44. It is the ideal stock-height replacement to cure crashing, wallow and uneven rebound on daily-driven cars, restoring tight steering feel and confident braking without adding harshness.

We fit these units regularly for our customers and run them on our own cars. Feedback has been superb for ride comfort, stability and long-term reliability. If your original shock is tired, leaking or causing MOT advisories, this OE-standard Bilstein unit brings the chassis back to how it should feel.
