Bring your E39 back to its best with this Bilstein B3 front suspension spring. Built to original equipment standards and tuned for the BMW 5 Series chassis, it restores factory ride height, steering precision and day-to-day comfort on both Saloon and Estate models from 1995 to 2004. Perfect for fixing a snapped spring, correcting a drooping front end or completing a front suspension refresh without lowering.
