Bilstein B6 DampTronic Front Left Damper Shock Absorber (LH/Nearside) - BMW 3 Series M3 (E90) - EDC Compatible OE Replacement Strut - Sold Individually

Bilstein B6 DampTronic Front Left Shock for BMW M3 E90 – EDC Ready, Direct-Swap Replacement

Refresh the front nearside of your E90 M3 with the Bilstein B6 DampTronic left-hand strut. This single front left unit integrates with the factory Electronic Damper Control system for a true plug-in, plug-out install while delivering sharper handling and rock-solid stability for fast-road use and occasional track days. It is a direct replacement that keeps everyday comfort intact and restores confidence when your original shock is tired or leaking.

Built around Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure architecture with application-specific valving, this uprated damper improves steering feel, reduces float and pitch, and enhances composure over bumpy roads without raising or lowering the vehicle. It is designed to work with the original BMW coil springs so your ride height and geometry remain correct. Expect cleaner turn-in, more precise body control and consistent performance mile after mile.
