Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Left Shock Absorber Strut for BMW E82 1 Series M, E90/E92/E93 3 Series M3/M3 GTS Gas Monotube Shortened Part No. 35-143291

Bilstein 35-143291 Front Nearside Damper for BMW E82 1M, E90 E92 E93 M3

Unlock sharper handling and confidence on every road with this genuine Bilstein B8 short-stroke front nearside strut, part number 35-143291 (BILSTEIN-35-143291). Engineered for cars running lowered springs or factory M chassis, this uprated sport damper delivers precise control, superb stability and an engaging fast-road feel without sacrificing daily comfort.

This gas-charged, single-tube inverted design keeps the correct spring preload on lowered setups, resists fade under hard use and tightens up response through quick direction changes. Turn-in feels immediate, body movement is reduced and the car stays planted over mid-corner bumps. It is a direct-fit replacement for the front left strut on the BMW E82 1M Coupe and BMW M3 E90 saloon, E92 coupe and E93 cabriolet, including M3 GTS.

Why this upgrade works

• Short-stroke sport damper optimised for lowering springs and OE M chassis
• Inverted single-tube construction for strength and consistent damping
• Gas-charged control for improved grip, stability and steering precision
• Fast-road feel with well-judged ride quality for everyday use
• Direct-fit nearside front strut - no modifications, bolt-on installation
• Ideal for track days and spirited B-road driving

Proven on customer cars

We have installed these dampers at MJ Modifications and feedback has been outstanding. Owners report a more connected front end, reduced dive and squat, and better confidence at speed on British roads. It is a genuine step-up over tired factory units when paired with a quality spring setup.
