BILSTEIN B12 Pro Kit for BMW 1 Series E81 and E87, part number 46-180490

Part number: 46-180490

Give your E8x 1er the chassis tune it deserves. This spring and damper package pairs precision gas pressure shock absorbers with performance road springs to deliver sharper turn in, reduced body roll and a purposeful ride height. It is a direct replacement for tired factory struts and coils, ideal for fast road use and daily driving where you want confidence, control and comfort without fuss.

Why this kit stands out

• Balanced handling, improved stability and a lower centre of gravity for real world pace and confidence on B roads and motorways.
• Fixed rate sport struts matched to progressive springs for a cohesive setup, no harshness, no rake, just a tidy stance and precise response.
• Approximate drop up to 50 mm depending on model, a cleaner look and better aero without compromising drivability.
• Vehicle specific valving for E81 and E87 hatchbacks, predictable behaviour on standard wheel and tyre sizes.
• Bolt on fitment, no coding required, designed as an OE quality upgrade.

Real results you can feel

We have run this package on customer cars and our own builds, and feedback is consistently positive. Owners report tighter body control, quicker steering response and a calmer ride over broken surfaces compared with budget coilover alternatives. It is a set and forget solution that simply works on UK roads.
