Bilstein B6 35-142119 OSF Inverted Damper for BMW E46 M3 and M3 CSL

Transform the way your E46 M3 steers, brakes and corners with the Bilstein B6 offside front damper. Part number 35-142119 is the driver side front strut for right-hand-drive cars, delivering crisp control, rock-solid stability and day-to-day comfort with standard coils. It is a direct replacement that fits like factory but feels genuinely uprated on B-roads, motorways and track days.

We run these on our own cars and our customers are consistently impressed with the difference. Expect tighter front-end response, improved body control and confidence in every bend without having to lower the car or change spring rates. It is a proper bolt-on upgrade that simply works on British roads.
