Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Nearside Left Shock Absorber/MacPherson Strut (NSF LH) for BMW 2 Series Convertible/Cabriolet F23 xDrive AWD 2014-2021 – Non-EDC Passive – Shortened Gas Monotube Sport Damper, Lowering Spring Optimised

Bilstein B8 Front Nearside Sport Damper for BMW 2 Series Cabriolet F23 xDrive

Transform the way your F23 soft-top drives with this uprated front left suspension strut. The Bilstein B8 is a shortened, gas-pressurised monotube damper engineered for cars running reduced ride height springs, giving you sharper turn-in, tighter body control and a confident, planted feel on British roads. Perfect for xDrive AWD models without adaptive damping, it delivers precision and composure without ruining day-to-day comfort.

We have fitted countless B8 kits on customer cars and our own builds. Feedback is consistently excellent: flatter cornering, improved stability under braking and a real step up in steering accuracy on fast-road drives. If you are building a lowered, performance-focused F23 Cabriolet, this nearside front B8 is the go-to upgrade.
