Why enthusiasts choose B6 DTC for the F20

This adaptive-ready front strut is the go-to choice when you want an OE-plus upgrade rather than a generic replacement. The B6 DTC complements the standard springs, tightens up chassis behaviour on B-roads and motorways, and keeps the car composed over rough surfaces. We have fitted these dampers for customers and on our own builds, and feedback is consistently positive: better turn-in, more confidence at speed and a smoother, controlled ride in everyday use.

Compatibility

• BMW 1 Series F20 with EDC only, front left position
• Plug-and-play with the vehicle’s electronic damping system
• Sold as a single unit, we recommend replacing in axle pairs for best results
• If your car does not have EDC, select the appropriate non-EDC variant

When to replace your front strut

• Knocking or clunking noises over bumps
• Excessive bounce, float or instability at speed
• Uneven tyre wear or longer stopping distances
• Leaking fluid around the strut body
