The B4 OE Replacement (DampTronic) is Bilstein's service replacement damper for BMW chassis that left the factory with electronically adjustable suspension. It retains the original electronic damper interface, so the vehicle's adaptive damping system keeps full function after the swap. Valving comes from Bilstein's OE development work, which holds the damping force range inside what the factory control unit expects and restores original ride quality and handling instead of firming the car up. The damper is a gas pressure twintube finished in black paint, with a stem upper mount and a 14.1 mm eye lower mount, measuring 356.0 mm collapsed and 482.3 mm extended. Spring seat and boot are not included.
