Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Right Shock Absorber/Damper (OSF, Driver Side UK) for BMW 5 Series Touring (F11) – Non-EDC, M-Technology – For Lowering Springs, Direct Fit

Bilstein B8 RH Front Strut for BMW 5 Series Estate F11

Transform the way your F11 drives with this uprated right-hand front strut from Bilstein’s B8 range. Perfect for cars running drop springs, this short-stroke, gas pressure performance unit tightens body control, sharpens steering and keeps the car planted without ruining everyday comfort.

We run B8 on our own cars and many customer builds, and the feedback is consistently brilliant. Expect crisper turn in, flatter cornering, better mid-corner composure and a more connected feel on B-roads and motorways alike. If your original RH damper is tired or you are lowering your BMW 5 Series Estate and want a proper sport chassis feel, this is the go-to upgrade.

Why it works

• Shortened body design that suits lowering springs, preserves bump travel and resists bottoming out
• Monotube, high-pressure gas construction for consistent, fade resistant damping on fast road use
• Model-specific valving tuned for the F11 front right corner to maximise grip and stability
• Precise steering response and confident high speed stability with an OE-quality ride
• Strong, durable construction built to last on UK roads
• Direct bolt-on fit using factory mounts and hardware
• Sold individually, right-hand front position, offside front in the UK

Fitment and notes

• BMW 5 Series Touring F11, estate body
• Right-hand side only, offside front, driver side UK
• For vehicles with M Sport suspension specification
• Not compatible with adaptive damping systems, no electronic damping control
• Ideal partner for lowering springs on a sport chassis setup

What you will feel

More control over undulations, reduced float at speed, calmer weight transfer under braking and a planted, confidence-inspiring front end. Customers love the way it tidies up fast A-road pace while remaining civil in town.
