Also shown on FRONT SPRING STRUT/SHOCK ABSORBER.

This is a genuine BMW left front spring strut, part number 31 31 1 096 851. You will find it under Suspension (Other Front Axle parts). It supersedes the older number 31 31 1 094 563, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

Fits E46 316i, 316i 1.6, 316i 1.9, 316ti, 318d, 318i, 318td and 2 others (1997–2004), sedan, coupe and compact, with the M43, M47, M47N, N40, N42 or N45 and other engines.

BMW draws it on 2 drawings, among them two Front Spring Strut/Shock Absorber drawings. It weighs about 2.9 kg (6.4 lb).

Out of stock. Request it and we will notify you when it is in stock.
