Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Right RH/OSF Strut Shock Absorber 35-044055 – BMW Z3 M/Z3M 3.2 M Roadster & M Coupe (E36/7 E36/8) – Inverted Gas Monotube Damper, Short-Stroke for Lowered Springs

Bilstein B8 Performance Front Right Strut - BMW Z3 M 3.2 Roadster and Coupe - Part No. 35-044055

Transform the front-end control of your BMW Z3M with the Bilstein B8 Performance right-hand front damper, part number 35-044055. Designed for cars running shorter springs, this uprated passenger-side strut delivers razor-sharp response, superb body control and confidence on quick B-road blasts and fast-road driving. The B8 uses a pressurised single-tube inverted design that resists fade, keeps the tyre planted and turns steering inputs into immediate, predictable direction changes.

Short-body construction means the B8 maintains the ideal stroke when paired with lowering springs, keeping preload correct and travel in the sweet spot. It is a bolt-on upgrade that uses factory mounting points and works brilliantly on Z3 M Roadster and Z3 M Coupe 3.2 models. We run B8s on our own builds and customer feedback is consistently outstanding for both grip and comfort on UK roads.
