Product Details

Bilstein 34-003268 is part of the B6 Performance line, a damper range focused on improving control without changing the factory spring setup. For BMW 528i and BMW 530i front suspension service, this cartridge uses Bilstein’s monotube construction to support more precise damping and more stable road feel. The result is a front strut cartridge suited to drivers looking to restore or improve handling on standard suspension vehicles.

This part cross-references BMW OE numbers 31 32 1 112 213 and 31 32 1 112 664 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive front-end bounce over uneven pavement
  • Reduced steering response during cornering
  • Worn or inconsistent damping from aging OE struts
  • Front suspension instability under braking
  • Loss of ride control on standard suspension BMW 528i and 530i models

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1977 BMW 530i, front; 1978 BMW 530i, front; and 1979-1981 BMW 528i, front. This strut cartridge is designed for use with the OE factory spring and standard suspension applications noted above. Verify mount style, suspension configuration, and part number before installation. Professional installation and a proper alignment are recommended after front strut service.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests each damper to meet or exceed OE standards. The B6 Performance line is built for consistent quality and dependable suspension control, backed by Bilstein’s established OE-level engineering approach.
