BMW 2 Series F23 Convertible Front Shock Absorber/Strut - Genuine OEM Replacement 31316873740 (Non xDrive) 2014-2019 | Fits 218d 218i 220d 220i 225d 228i 230i

Front Suspension Damper for BMW 2 Series Cabriolet F23 | Factory-Spec Strut Assembly | OE Part 31316873740

Restore the tight, composed ride your cabriolet deserves with this authentic BMW front suspension leg for the F23. As an original equipment damper, it bolts straight on with no modification and brings back the smooth comfort, sharp steering response and confidence under braking you expect from a well-sorted 2 Series.

Ideal for curing knocks, wallow or uneven tyre wear caused by a tired shock, this unit is a direct-fit replacement for models without xDrive. Sold individually; for best results we recommend replacing both front dampers together to keep the chassis balanced.

• Direct bolt-on fitment for straightforward maintenance
• Restores ride comfort, body control and stability
