Bilstein 36-226917 Front Road Spring for BMW E30 - Factory-Spec Replacement

Refresh the front end of your classic BMW with genuine Bilstein quality. The Bilstein B3 36-226917 is a direct-fit front strut coil for the BMW 3 Series E30, returning the car to the correct standard ride height and restoring the precise steering and comfort you expect from an original-spec spring. Ideal for suspension renewals, MOT advisories and restorations where stock geometry and durability matter.

We have installed this spring on multiple customer E30 builds and daily drivers with outstanding results. Owners report a confident road feel, consistent ride height and OEM-level refinement. It is a straight swap for tired or broken front springs and keeps the chassis balanced exactly as BMW intended.
