Bilstein B6 Performance Front Nearside Strut for BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07

Give your BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 a serious chassis refresh with the Bilstein B6 front nearside unit. This uprated gas pressure strut is a direct bolt-on for cars with passive suspension and keeps factory ride height while tightening body control.
