Bilstein B8 Front Nearside Sport Damper for BMW 3 Series E46 Touring 1999 to 2005

Unlock razor sharp handling and a planted, confidence inspiring ride with the Bilstein B8 front left nearside shock for the BMW 3 Series E46 Touring. This uprated, shortened sport damper is engineered to work brilliantly with lowering springs, giving your estate a tighter turn in, superior body control and a purposeful stance without sacrificing everyday driveability.

Built around Bilstein’s proven high pressure gas monotube architecture, the B8 delivers precise, repeatable damping on fast A roads, B roads and motorway miles. Expect improved front end bite, better mid corner stability and reduced dive under braking. If you want your E46 wagon to feel more connected and more responsive, this is the performance strut to choose.
