Bilstein B3 36-266050 Front Coil/Suspension Spring – OE/OEM Spec Standard Height – BMW 3 Series E46 & 5 Series E39 Front Axle (Road/Helical/Strut Coil Replacement)

Bilstein B3 Factory-Spec Front Road Spring | Part No. 36-266050 | For BMW E46 3 Series and BMW E39 5 Series

Restore precise steering feel, correct arch height and day-to-day comfort with this Bilstein B3 front road spring. Part number 36-266050 is a direct-fit front axle replacement that brings your BMW back to original specification without lowering, delivering the stock ride and confidence you expect from a high-quality OE-grade spring.

Ideal when a spring has snapped, ride height has sagged or the front end feels tired. This is a straightforward swap for the standard front spring on suitable BMW 3 Series E46 and 5 Series E39 models, pairing perfectly with OEM dampers or Bilstein B4 shocks for a factory-fresh feel.

Why this Bilstein B3 spring is a top choice

• Direct replacement for the front axle on selected BMW E46 and E39 applications
• OEM-grade spring rate and height for balanced handling and comfort
