Genuine Bilstein 35-115076 B8 Performance Plus Front Right (RH) Shock Absorber/Strut for BMW 3 Series E46 1998-2007, Gas Pressure Monotube, For Lowered & Sport Suspension

Bilstein 35-115076 Offside Front Uprated Damper for BMW 3 Series E46

Transform the way your E46 turns, brakes and puts power down with the Bilstein 35-115076. This right hand, offside front uprated strut is the go-to choice for fast-road and track-inspired handling on lowered and factory sport chassis cars. Short-stroke, gas-charged monotube engineering gives razor-sharp response, superb body control and rock-solid stability without ruining day-to-day comfort.

We fit these on our own builds and customer cars and the feedback is consistently glowing. Expect tighter turn-in, reduced dive and roll, stronger grip on B-roads and a confident, OEM-plus ride. If you want a direct-fit E46 offside front damper that works perfectly with shorter springs and M Sport setups, this is the one.

Why this Bilstein upgrade works

• Shortened body and piston for lowered ride heights, keeps correct travel on sport springs
• Gas-charged single-tube design for fade-free damping and crisp steering feel
• Upside-down strut architecture for stiffness and durability under heavy cornering
• Fast-road composure with everyday comfort, ideal for spirited driving and commuting
• Direct replacement on the offside front, no modifications required on compatible models
• Perfect partner for popular lowering springs and factory sport packs
