KONI Special Active shocks are the next generation of sport performance struts and shocks for the G20 330i and M340i xDrive. These are the all-wheel drive (AWD) models of the 2019-2025 BMW 3 series sedan. The Special Active shock uses KONI's patented FSD technology (Frequency Selective Damping) to variably adjust the shock stiffness based on suspension movement. It's self-adjusting for road conditions! The shock uses a stiff setting on smooth roads or very slow suspension movements (cornering for example) and that gives it more control and better handling. But it automatically switches to a softer setting for rapid suspension movements such as a rough road. This keeps the ride comfortable and not jarring or harsh like a shock with fixed valving.
NOT for cars with M Adaptive / Electronic suspension. This shock set is for the non-EDC / non-electronic damper replacement.
Since all of the technology is mechanical and internal to the shock there are no sensors, cables, electronics, or setup to work on. FSD has been adopted by OE manufacturers like Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-Benz and has also won praise in the RV market where shock damping is notoriously challenging (extremely heavy vehicles that must have a plush ride). The FSD technology and KONI lifetime warranty make them similar to other performance shocks from Germany.
The red KONI Special Active shocks replace the previous gold-colored FSD shock sets. They are a direct replacement for the stock G20 shocks and use all of the OEM mounts and bump stops. Special Active shocks can be used with either stock or Sport springs.
