KONI Special Active Front Shock FSD 8745 1356 for 2012–2017 BMW 2, 3 and 4 Series with M-Technik Suspension

Upgrade the front suspension of your compatible BMW with the KONI Special Active Shock FSD 8745 1356. Designed for select rear-wheel-drive BMW 2, 3 and 4 Series models equipped with M-Technik suspension, this twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber uses KONI's Frequency Selective Damping technology to help balance responsive handling with everyday ride comfort.

The Special Active design automatically adapts damping characteristics based on suspension movement. It helps control body motion during cornering, braking and acceleration while remaining compliant over smaller road imperfections. This makes the KONI Special Active a practical choice for drivers seeking improved suspension performance without an overly harsh ride.

Built as a direct-fit front replacement for the listed applications, the KONI 8745 1356 is engineered to work with the vehicle's existing suspension configuration. Verify the exact year, drivetrain, body style and M-Technik suspension package before ordering. This part fits select 2012–2017 BMW 328i, 328i xDrive, 428i, 428i xDrive, 440i, 440i xDrive and 228i applications, as detailed in the fitment information.
