Koni Special-Active Kit - X6 (E71) excl. X6M, M50dX incl. M-Technik, excl. VDC and air suspension

Unlock a sharper, more composed BMW X6 E71 with this KONI Special Active damper kit. It is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for the X6 Sports Activity Coupé that transforms road feel and stability while keeping everyday comfort intact. If your factory shocks are tired or you want a fast-road set-up without sacrificing ride quality, this matched damper set is the sweet spot for performance and refinement.

Built around KONI’s frequency-reactive valving, these passive dampers intelligently adapt to surface harshness and driver input. The result is supple compliance over broken tarmac and potholes, yet taut control during turn-in, heavy braking and quick direction changes. Expect reduced body roll, less pitch, crisper steering feedback and confidence at speed, all without switches, wiring or complex electronics.
