Bilstein BMW F20 F21 F22 F23 F30 F31 F32 F33 F34 F36 B8 Performance Plus Damper Kit - RWD - Inc. M135i, M235i, 340i, 440i
Transform the way your BMW drives with the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus damper kit. This non-adaptive, shortened high-performance shock absorber package delivers sharper handling, tighter body control, improved composure and confidence-inspiring stability on British roads. Ideal for spirited driving, daily use and fast road setups, and an excellent match for lowering springs thanks to the shortened stroke design.
We have fitted these Bilstein B8 dampers in-house at Nforcd and customer feedback has been outstanding. Expect flatter cornering, faster steering response and a more planted feel without ruining ride quality. Made in Germany and road tested by Bilstein, this is the go-to BMW suspension upgrade for F2x and F3x RWD models including M135i, M140i, M235i, M240i, 335i, 340i, 435i and 440i.

- For vehicles with EDC adaptive suspension, this kit can only be used with the appropriate front sway bar end links such as Genuine BMW F20 F25 F30 F32 Front Sway Bar End Link - Left or upgraded adjustable SuperPro anti-roll bar link kit drop links. You will also need to code out EDC with an EDC delete kit.
- We highly recommend upgrading the rear bump stops to Genuine BMW F20 F21 F22 F23 M Performance rear bump stops for best results, especially when combined with lowering springs.
