Product Details

The Koni 8245 1056 Special Active (Red) is a rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the BMW 5 Series E39 Touring with 4- and 6-cylinder engines, including M-Technik variants. This shock is designed for vehicles without Electronic Damper Control (EDC) or self-leveling suspension systems.

Part of Koni's renowned 8245 Special Active Series, this shock features Koni's patented twin-tube low-pressure gas design with an internal self-adjusting valve that automatically adapts damping force in real time — providing a balanced blend of ride comfort and handling performance without any manual adjustment required.

Key Features:

  • Self-Adjusting Technology: Koni's Special Active internal valve continuously and automatically varies damping in response to road conditions and driving inputs
  • Twin-Tube Low-Pressure Gas Design: Delivers consistent, fade-free performance across a wide range of driving conditions
  • Direct OEM Replacement: Bolt-on fitment designed to match original mounting points on the E39 Touring platform
  • Includes M-Technik Compatibility: Engineered to fit E39 Touring models equipped with the M-Technik suspension package
  • Excludes EDC and Self-Leveling Systems: Not compatible with Electronic Damper Control or self-leveling rear suspension variants
  • Red Finish: Koni's signature red color identifies this as a Special Active (performance street) application
  • Position: Rear axle

The Koni Special Active series is ideal for drivers who want an upgrade over worn OEM shocks without sacrificing daily-driving comfort. The automatic damping adjustment makes this a plug-and-play performance solution for the BMW E39 5 Series Touring.

Great Prices, will order in future. Customer service was awesome, also received product fast

Quick and easy. Hopefully it ships and gets here shortly.

Quick, easy, and best price.

quick and easy

Found exactly what I was looking for at a great price and shipping was super fast.

Autoplicity must have sent my Airaid CAI within hours of my order because UPS delivered it right away. I even got it before I received an e-mail indicating the order had been processed or a notification of shipping e-mail. <br><br>The online advertised price seems to vary by about $20 and that means that you must monitor the site if you are to get the lower price. However, Autoplicity has arranged with BuySafe to give you the difference if you establish an account with them and go through the process. This process was not easy as there was an apparent database problem where the Autoplicity URL was not taken by BuySafe. A call to BuySafe got that worked out, I am hopeful that I will receive the refund promised via paypal. It looks like a good system if it works.<br><br>The bottom line is that Autoplicity offers the best online price by far and although my unfamiliarity with how they do things caused some confusion on my part, they do have a good order processing and price guarantee in place.

Going through the screens was eady enough. Prompts were great.

Best price found on product as well as easiest ordering options. To bad shipping is high.
