Bilstein B8 Performance Front Left Damper (Nearside) - BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer (F46) - Without EDC, With M-Technology - Shock Absorber for Lowering Springs

Bilstein B8 Nearside Front Shock Absorber for BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer F46

Give your BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer F46 the precise road feel it deserves with the Bilstein B8 nearside front shock. This uprated left-hand front strut is the go-to choice when running shorter sport springs, delivering tighter body control, crisp steering response and a planted, confidence-inspiring drive. Suits vehicles without electronic damper control and is compatible with BMW M-Technology specification.

Key benefits

• Left-hand front position. Nearside. NSF. Direct-fit replacement for the F46 platform.
• Optimised for cars on lowering springs. Shorter stroke design keeps the suspension in the ideal operating range.
• Monotube high-pressure gas construction for consistent, fade-resistant damping and superb stability.
• Application-specific valving tailored to the BMW F46 chassis for sharper turn-in and improved mid-corner control.
• Reduces pitch and roll while retaining everyday comfort for UK roads.
• High-quality OE-level build for long service life and reliability.

We have fitted and driven on Bilstein B8 many times at MJ Modifications and customer feedback is consistently positive. Expect firmer, more composed handling without harshness, better braking stability and a more engaging drive, especially on cars running quality sport coils or drop springs.
