KONI Special Active shock absorber set for BMW 1 Series E8x chassis

Give your E8x 1 Series the ride quality and control it deserves. This KONI Special Active damper package replaces tired factory shocks with KONI’s latest Frequency Selective Damping technology, delivering crisp steering response, flatter cornering and a seriously compliant ride on real UK roads. It is a direct-fit upgrade for the E81, E82, E87 and E88 platform, front and rear, and is the perfect refresh for daily driving, motorway miles and fast B-road use.

If you are searching for a BMW 1 Series shock upgrade that keeps comfort while sharpening handling, this is the proven choice. Special Active automatically adapts to surface changes and driving input, so you get stability when pressing on and plush compliance over potholes, speed humps and expansion joints. Works brilliantly with standard springs or quality lowering springs for a tasteful drop without harshness.

Why this damper package stands out

• Frequency Selective Damping continuously reacts to the road for composed handling and smooth ride comfort
• Transforms body control, braking stability and mid-corner confidence without making the car firm or crashy
• Real-world upgrade for UK tarmac, town driving and high-speed touring
• Rivals costly electronic systems with a purely mechanical solution — no wiring or coding required
• Technology proven on more than 1.5 million vehicles worldwide
• Direct replacement front and rear shocks for a simple bolt-on install

What you get

Four KONI Special Active dampers — two front and two rear — engineered as a direct-fit OE replacement for the BMW E8x platform.
