Part number: 35-264552
Transform the front-end precision, grip and stability of your BMW with the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus front damper 35-264552. This non-adaptive front shock absorber is a direct-fit, high-performance upgrade for BMW 1 Series F20 F21, 2 Series F22 F23, 3 Series F30 F31 F34 GT and 4 Series F32 F33 F36 including popular models such as M135i, M140i, M235i, M240i, 335i, 340i, 435i and 440i (RWD only, not suitable for xDrive, non-adaptive cars).
The Bilstein B8 front strut uses shortened high-performance internals for tighter body control, faster response and a more connected drive. Expect sharper turn-in, reduced body roll and superb high-speed composure without the harshness. We run B8s on our own cars and our customers consistently praise the ride quality and confidence they deliver on both B-roads and track.
