Bilstein B6 Front Left Shock Absorber/Strut (Nearside LH NSF) for BMW X1 F48 2015-2022 – Non-EDC Non-Adaptive Standard Suspension – Monotube Gas Pressure Performance Damper – OEM Direct-Fit Replacement Upgrade

Bilstein B6 Performance Left-Hand Front Strut for BMW X1 F48 — for cars without adaptive damping

Transform the way your BMW X1 F48 drives with this premium left-side front shock absorber from Bilstein’s B6 range. Engineered for factory-height vehicles without electronic damping, it is a straight swap for your original unit and delivers tighter body control, crisper steering feel and extra confidence on fast A-roads and rough British tarmac.

The B6 uses Bilstein’s gas-pressurised monotube technology for consistent, fade-resistant damping and a more planted front end. It partners perfectly with your standard coil spring, so you gain performance and stability without lowering the car or ruining comfort. Expect sharper turn-in, better mid-corner composure and improved braking stability with the durability you’d expect from a top-tier German manufacturer.
