Bilstein B6 NSF Strut 35-115908 for BMW 1 Series E81 E82 E87 E88

Transform front end control and steering feel on your BMW 1 Series with the Bilstein B6 35-115908 nearside front damper. This gas charged, inverted monotube strut is a direct fit upgrade for E8x models and delivers tighter turn in, stronger mid corner support and confident stability on British roads without changing springs or altering ride height.

We run B6 on our own builds and our customers consistently report flatter cornering, better traction on uneven surfaces and a calmer, more composed drive in everyday use and fast road conditions. It is the smart OEM quality performance upgrade for the left hand front corner when your factory unit is tired or you simply want sharper response.

Why this B6 strut stands out

• Inverted monotube design for rigidity and precise wheel control under load
• Gas charged damping for consistent performance and high grip
• Direct replacement that works with standard springs and original top mounts
• Iconic Bilstein yellow finish and proven long term durability
• Improves body control and steering accuracy without lowering the car
