Koni 8245 1302L Special Active Front Left Shock Absorber for BMW 5 Series F10/F11

The Koni 8245 1302L Special Active is a premium twin-tube, low-pressure gas shock absorber engineered for the BMW 5 Series (F10/F11), including M-Technik models. Excluding xDrive and EDC electronic suspension variants, this is the front left unit designed to deliver an exceptional balance of performance and ride comfort.

KONI Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) Technology:

At the heart of this shock absorber is KONI's patented Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology — the defining feature of the Special Active series. This advanced valve system automatically adjusts damping force in real time based on road input frequency: providing firm, controlled damping during cornering and high-speed maneuvers, while simultaneously offering a smooth, compliant response over rough roads, expansion joints, and uneven surfaces.

Key Features:

• Patented FSD Technology — automatically adapts to road conditions and driving style without driver input
• Twin-tube low-pressure gas construction — proven design for reliable, consistent performance
• Plug-and-play fitment — direct OEM replacement, no modifications required
• Improved road holding and safety — greater grip and stability during spirited driving
• OEM-level active damping performance — rivals factory-installed electronic suspension systems at a fraction of the cost
• Tested on over 1.5 million factory-equipped vehicles — technology validated at the OEM level
• Compatible with M-Technik suspension — excludes xDrive AWD and EDC (Electronic Damping Control) variants
• Part Number: 8245 1302L | EAN: 8712167166209
