Bilstein B6 Performance Front Left Damper for BMW E36 M3 1992-1999 - Nearside Passenger Side Uprated Gas-Charged Strut

Transform the front end of your BMW E36 M3 with this Bilstein B6 Performance nearside front damper. This left-hand front shock is a direct bolt-on replacement that works with factory springs and original top mounts, keeping standard ride height while delivering tighter control, sharper steering feel and superb stability on UK roads.

The B6 uses Bilstein’s proven gas-pressurised monotube design with model-specific valving for consistent, fade-resistant damping. Ideal for spirited road use and daily driving, it brings your chassis back to life if your original shock is tired, and it adds that trademark Bilstein precision without the compromise of lowering.

Fitment guidance

Fits BMW E36 M3 models from 1992 to 1999. Left-hand front only. For best results replace front dampers as a pair and consider matching with Bilstein B6 rears to balance the chassis. Works with original springs and mounts. If you are refreshing a high-mileage suspension, inspect top mounts, drop links and control arm bushes at the same time.
