Bilstein B8 Offside Front Sport Strut for BMW E46 3 Series Estate 1999 to 2005 | M-tech | Non self-levelling

Give your E46 Touring the handling it deserves. This offside front sport strut from Bilstein’s B8 range is a premium uprated replacement for tired factory units, designed to work perfectly with quality lowering springs. With application-specific valving and a proven single-tube monotube design, it delivers sharper steering response, flatter cornering and impressive stability while maintaining everyday comfort and OE-level reliability.

At MJ Modifications, we run B8 on our own builds and customer cars. Feedback is consistently positive with tighter body control, reduced roll and a more confidence-inspiring drive on British roads. If you want a road-focused upgrade that also copes with spirited driving and occasional track use, this is the smart choice.
