Bilstein 22-164568 BMW Z4 E85 E86 B4 OE Replacement Front Left Shock Absorber

Bring your BMW Z4 back to the way it should drive with the Bilstein B4 OE Replacement Front Left Shock Absorber. This genuine Bilstein B4 front left strut is a direct-fit, OE-spec damper designed to restore factory ride comfort, stability and precise handling on BMW Z4 E85 Roadster and E86 Coupe models, including 2.0i, 2.2i, 2.5i, 2.5si, 3.0i and 3.0si.

Bilstein pioneered gas-pressure shock technology and the B4 range delivers true OE quality and calibration. This specific unit is a twin-tube, gas-pressure strut for the front left position, providing consistent damping under load, strong traction and confidence-inspiring control in daily driving.

We use Bilstein B4 dampers on our own cars and customer Z4s, and feedback is consistently positive. If your Z4 feels bouncy, vague or crashy over bumps, replacing tired shocks with Bilstein B4 is one of the biggest ride and safety upgrades you can make while keeping an original feel.
