Bilstein B6 DampTronic Front Right Damper - BMW F-Series xDrive - Part No. 23-266490

Transform the way your all-wheel drive BMW steers, rides and grips with this Bilstein B6 DampTronic front right gas-charged strut, part number 23-266490. It is a direct-fit, OE-grade upgrade for F-series xDrive models that keeps your factory adaptive damping functionality while delivering tighter body control, faster response and superb stability on UK roads.

Designed for vehicles equipped with BMW's electronic adjustable suspension, this single-tube, high-pressure unit gives confident turn-in, reduced float at speed and a more composed feel over broken tarmac. It is the ideal replacement for a tired front shock or a performance-focused refresh that retains day-to-day comfort.

Why enthusiasts choose Bilstein B6 DampTronic

At MJ Modifications we have fitted and driven on B6 DampTronic kits across multiple F-series xDrive platforms. Customer feedback is consistently strong: crisper front-end bite, calmer motorway manners and a big uplift in confidence on B-roads without making the car harsh.
