Uprated front strut for BMW 1 Series F21 3-door - standard suspension, no adaptive damping

Give your BMW F21 the crisp, confidence-inspiring road feel it deserves with the Bilstein B6 Performance front strut. This OEM-plus upgrade is designed for cars on factory springs and standard ride height, delivering tighter body control, sharper steering response and improved stability on British roads without sacrificing daily comfort.

Using Bilstein’s proven monotube gas pressure technology, this heavy duty front shock keeps damping consistent under hard use, resists fade on fast A-road and B-road driving, and offers precise control over bumps, compressions and quick direction changes. If you want a fast-road suspension improvement that fits like a factory part and works brilliantly with OE coils, this is the go-to choice.
