Product Description

The Bilstein 23-266483 B6 DampTronic front left strut is a performance replacement for BMW 2-, 3-, and 4-Series xDrive models equipped with factory electronic damping. It is engineered to retain all original EDC/DampTronic functions while upgrading damping performance for sharper handling, better body control, and more confident response in everyday and spirited driving.

Designed to work with the factory front coil spring and mounting hardware, this B6 strut installs as a direct bolt-on in the front-left position. The gas-pressure twin-tube construction and application-specific valving provide improved stability, reduced roll, and more precise road feedback without sacrificing overall ride comfort. For BMW owners who want to refresh worn OEM dampers and gain a noticeable handling upgrade while keeping the original electronic suspension system fully functional, 23-266483 is the correct front-left strut choice for the xDrive applications listed above.
