Transform the way your BMW X1 E84 drives with this Bilstein B6 nearside front damper unit, part number 35-171553. This left-hand suspension leg is a direct bolt-on replacement that delivers sharper steering feel, flatter cornering and rock-solid stability without sacrificing day-to-day comfort. If you are chasing a confident, controlled ride on British roads, this is the proven choice.
