Front Nearside Strut for BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé F36 xDrive - Bilstein B8

Unlock fast-road precision for your BMW F36 xDrive with this Bilstein B8 front left strut. Built for cars running sports springs and a lowered ride height, this shortened-stroke unit delivers tight body control, improved turn-in and reassuring stability on British roads. It suits vehicles with M technology and no adaptive damping. Ideal for owners seeking a direct-fit upgrade that outperforms tired factory shocks.

• Shorter piston travel for lowered setups. Maintains bump and rebound control when paired with performance springs.
• Single-tube high-pressure gas construction for crisp response, consistent damping and fade-free performance.
• Model-specific calibration tuned for the F36 Gran Coupé xDrive chassis for planted, predictable handling.
• Bolt-on replacement for the left-hand front strut housing. No coding required on non-adaptive cars.
• With M technology and without electronic suspension control. Also referred to as passive or non-EDC.

We run these on customer cars and the feedback is the same every time: sharper steering, reduced squat and dive, better mid-corner control and excellent ride quality for a sport-focused setup. If you want confidence on B-roads and dependable performance for daily use, this is a proven upgrade.
