Bilstein 35-141662 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front Left
Bilstein B6 Front Left Strut for BMW Z4
The Bilstein B6 Performance strut assembly, part number 35-141662, is a direct suspension upgrade for the front left side of select BMW Z4 models. It uses a monotube internal design and application-specific valving to improve handling response while working with the OE factory spring.
Compatible with 2006-2008 BMW Z4, front left, this Bilstein Shock Absorbers application is built for drivers who want firmer control, more consistent damping, and OE-style fitment. The yellow-painted finish and blue bellows boot identify the B6 Performance series.
Key Features
- Bilstein B6 Performance series strut assembly
- Part number 35-141662
- Monotube internal design for consistent damping response
- Application-specific valve settings tuned for the OE spring
- Yellow painted finish with blue bellows boot
- Lower bracket mount and upper stem mount
Performance and Fitment Details
This Bilstein B6 Performance damper is engineered for the front left position on the BMW Z4 and is intended to replace the OE strut with a performance-focused setup. The B6 Performance line is built to improve handling and safety characteristics without changing the factory spring package, making it a practical choice for a BMW Z4 front left strut replacement. Part number 35-141662 also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive front-end bounce over uneven pavement
- Reduced steering response during cornering
- Soft or inconsistent damping from worn OE struts
- Nose dive under braking
- Uneven ride control at the front left corner
Installation Notes and Tips
Install on the front left side only for the listed BMW Z4 applications. Verify mount style, spring condition, and surrounding suspension components before installation. Because this is a strut assembly designed to work with the OE factory spring, confirm the spring and related hardware are in serviceable condition before reassembly. Professional alignment is recommended after suspension work.
Quality Assurance
Bilstein tests B6 Performance dampers to meet or exceed OE standards, with quality control focused on consistent performance and durability. The monotube design and application-specific tuning reflect Bilstein’s suspension engineering approach for the BMW Z4 platform.
