Bilstein B6 Sport Front Left Shock Absorber/Strut Damper – BMW 1 Series (1er) Convertible E88 2008-2013 (Cabriolet) – Non M Sport/M-Technology – Monotube Gas Pressure, Performance Uprated, Direct Fit OE Replacement NSF LH Nearside Heavy Duty Shocker

Front Left Performance Shock for BMW 1 Series Cabriolet E88 2008-2013 non M Sport suspension

Give your E88 real-world handling gains with this Bilstein B6 front nearside shock. It is a high quality, gas pressure monotube strut that drops straight in place of the factory unit, works perfectly with original springs and top mounts, and tightens up body control without lowering the car. Expect sharper turn in, calmer ride over rough B-roads and confident stability at speed.

We fit these on our own cars and for countless MJ Modifications customers. The feedback is the same every time: less float, less roll, cleaner steering feel and a more planted, composed BMW 1 Series Convertible with everyday comfort intact.

Why choose this upgrade
