Product Details

The Koni 8245 1004 Special Active is a twin-tube, low-pressure gas shock absorber designed for the rear axle of the BMW 5 Series E60 (RWD, excluding xi/xd/xDrive/EDC variants). Built in the iconic Koni red finish, this damper brings the brand's latest-generation Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology to the street, delivering an exceptional balance of handling performance and ride comfort without compromise.

Unlike conventional shock absorbers, the Special Active automatically senses road surface conditions and adjusts its damping response in real time — controlling large body motions and cornering forces on demanding roads while smoothing out expansion joints and rough surfaces for a comfortable daily driving experience. This electronics-free technology serves as a cost-effective alternative to factory electronic damping systems (EDC), making it an ideal retrofit upgrade for standard RWD E60 models.

Key Features:

  • Twin-tube, low-pressure gas construction for consistent, fade-free performance
  • Patented Frequency Selective Damping (FSD / Special Active) technology adjusts automatically to road conditions
  • Controls body roll and cornering forces while improving ride comfort over rough surfaces
  • Electronics-free design — no wiring, modules, or sensors required
  • Direct replacement for the rear axle on BMW 5 Series E60 RWD (excl. xi/xd/xDrive/EDC)
  • Technology proven on over 10 million factory-equipped vehicles worldwide
  • Manufactured in Europe to the highest material and machining tolerances
  • Sold individually

Koni has been engineering precision dampers since 1857 and producing automotive shock absorbers since 1932. The Special Active series represents the next evolution of the renowned FSD lineup, trusted by enthusiasts and OEM manufacturers alike. Manufacturer Part Number: 8245 1004.

Had what I was looking for and a far price

Lights look good , one doesn't seem like the tinting is as dark as the other three you can kind of see through it...had to take one back out because when I plugged it in the pin in the electrical plug pushed out the back and I didn't catch it so I took it out to see why it wasn't working and then found that... As soon as I squeeze the plastic tab in to remove it it snapped, which kind of disappointing I bought the over $100 set instead of the $10 set so I wouldn't have issues like that but it is what it is they're in and they work....

Fast and easy!
