Bilstein B8 Performance Front Left (Nearside NSF) Shock Absorber/Strut/Damper for BMW 2 Series Coupe F22/F87 M2 xDrive AWD – Non‑EDC/Non‑Adaptive Monotube Gas, Shortened Uprated Sport, Lowering Spring Compatible – 1x

Bilstein B8 Front Nearside Strut for BMW 2 Series F22/F87 xDrive – Non‑Adaptive

Looking to tighten up your BMW 2 Series handling without ruining daily comfort? This Bilstein B8 front left nearside unit is a premium uprated strut that transforms steering feel, grip and stability on UK roads. It is a single front left shock for all-wheel-drive F22 and F87 coupe applications that are not equipped with adaptive damping. The high-quality monotube design with sport-tuned valving gives crisp control, predictable feedback and a planted ride on fast A-roads and spirited B-road runs.

We’ve fitted and used Bilstein B8 kits extensively at MJ Modifications and customer feedback is consistently positive. Expect flatter cornering, improved turn-in and a composed ride when paired with quality lowering springs. It is a direct replacement for the OE front nearside shock, ideal for a fast-road suspension refresh that retains day-to-day usability with the performance edge enthusiasts want.

Why upgrade to Bilstein B8

• Sporty, confidence-inspiring control with reduced roll and dive
• Monotube construction for consistent damping under hard use
