Bilstein 23-300187 Left-Hand Front Adaptive Strut for BMW G20 G21 G81 G42 G22

Transform the way your BMW turns, stops and rides with the Bilstein 23-300187 left front electronically controlled damper. This direct-fit suspension leg integrates seamlessly with BMW Electronic Damping Control, preserving factory driver modes while delivering crisper steering response, superior body control and confidence on British roads. It is the ideal premium replacement and performance upgrade for BMW 2 Series G42, 3 Series G20 G21 G81 and 4 Series G22 models equipped with adaptive chassis.

At MJ Modifications we have installed these units on customer vehicles and our own projects. The feedback is consistently glowing: flatter cornering, more stability under hard braking and a composed ride over rough B-roads. If you want a nearside front strut that elevates precision without sacrificing comfort, this is the one.

Why this Bilstein upgrade stands out

• Plug-and-play with BMW EDC electronic damping control for hassle-free integration
• Gas-pressurised twin-tube design for outstanding grip, traction and steering accuracy
• Noticeably reduced body roll and pitch for fast-road confidence
• Robust build for long service life and high thermal stability
• Use with standard factory springs and top mounts for an OEM-like ride with added control
• Individually road-tested by Bilstein for real-world performance
• No additional coding required when replacing like-for-like adaptive units
