Front Nearside Uprated Strut for BMW 3 Series F30 F80 xDrive, M Sport chassis, non-EDC

Transform the way your BMW turns in, grips and rides with this Bilstein B8 front nearside unit. Tuned for vehicles with M-Technology suspension and built to partner perfectly with lowering springs, this left-hand MacPherson strut delivers crisp control, reduced body roll and rock-solid stability on British B-roads and motorways.

Engineered with Bilstein’s proven monotube gas-pressure architecture, the B8 keeps damping consistent under hard use, manages heat effectively and offers OE-quality fit with genuine performance gains. If you want a premium front left replacement that doubles as a serious handling upgrade, this is it.

Key benefits

• Front nearside strut for BMW 3 Series F30 and F80 xDrive applications
• For cars with M-Technology sport suspension, not suitable for adaptive damping or EDC-equipped models
• Optimised for use with lowering springs for a lower stance and sharper response
• Monotube gas-pressure construction for precise, fade-resistant damping
• Direct-fit replacement with OE-beating durability and control
• Sold individually as a single left-front unit

Why enthusiasts choose it

Shorter stroke, faster reaction and tighter body control make the B8 a favourite for fast road setups. Steering feels more immediate, brake dive is reduced and mid-corner composure improves, especially on xDrive models where front-end support matters. We run Bilstein on our own builds at MJ Modifications and customers consistently report a confident, planted feel without ruining ride comfort.
