Transform the way your BMW 1 Series drives and looks with this KONI Orange damper and H&R sport spring bundle. Designed for the E81, E82, E87 and E88 platforms across petrol and diesel variants, this all-in-one suspension upgrade delivers a lower ride height, sharper turn in and a more composed feel without sacrificing daily comfort.

Compatible with 116i, 118i, 120i, 125i, 130i, 135i, 116d, 118d, 120d and 123d models. Not suitable for M versions.

• Front drop: approximately 40 to 50 mm
• Rear drop: approximately 30 mm

This package combines KONI’s renowned orange dampers with H&R sport springs for a properly matched, plug and play chassis upgrade. The result is a lower centre of gravity, reduced body roll, improved stability under braking and confident cornering on British B-roads and motorway runs alike. It is a superb coilover alternative if you want real-world drivability with a purposeful stance.
