Bilstein B6 Offside Front Strut for BMW E46 3 Series Compact - gas-charged, OEM-plus upgrade for stock ride height

Transform the way your E46 Compact drives with the Bilstein B6 offside front strut. This right-hand front damper is the premium direct-replacement choice for drivers who want tighter control, quicker steering response and rock-solid stability while keeping the car at standard ride height. The B6 uses Bilstein’s gas-charged single-tube construction to deliver consistent, confidence-inspiring damping on British roads, from rough B-roads to motorway miles.

Expect crisper turn-in, reduced pitch under braking and flatter cornering without sacrificing everyday comfort.
