The Koni Special ACTIVE rear shock absorber is designed for 2006-2012 BMW 3 Series vehicles.

This results in improved safety and road holding, balancing performance for the driver with comfort for passengers.

Show original supplier description

The Koni Special ACTIVE rear shock absorber (PN 8245 1015) is engineered for 2006-2012 BMW 3 Series vehicles, with specific fitment for AWD models. This shock absorber employs KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology. This system allows the shock to dynamically adjust its damping characteristics in response to changing road conditions. The result is an enhanced driving experience that combines sporty handling for the driver with a comfortable ride for passengers, a feat proven on millions of factory-equipped vehicles. Constructed with a twin-tube design, this shock absorber utilizes a reservoir tube for excess oil, ensuring controlled damping through internal valves. This design converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, managing suspension movement effectively. As with all KONI shocks, the engineers select the optimal construction for each specific application to maximize performance and longevity. Fitment is confirmed for various BMW 1 Series (E8x) and 3 Series (E9x) models, including specific applications like the 2006-2012 BMW 3 Series AWD and 2008-2013 BMW 1 Series E8x. It is crucial to confirm precise fitment for your specific vehicle year, make, model, trim, and drive type before purchase, as detailed fitment lists are available.
