KONI Sport 8741 Series Front Shock Absorber 8741-1372Sport for 1997–2003 BMW 5 Series and M5

KONI Sport 8741 Series, yellow painted, externally rebound adjustable twin-tube low pressure gas charged strut.

Upgrade the front suspension of your compatible BMW with the KONI Sport 8741 Series shock absorber, part number 8741-1372Sport. Designed for performance-focused driving, this yellow-painted twin-tube shock uses low-pressure gas charging to help improve damping control, handling response, and overall ride stability. Its externally adjustable rebound feature allows drivers and technicians to fine-tune suspension behavior for street performance, spirited driving, or modified applications.

The KONI Sport shock is engineered for the front of select BMW 5 Series and M5 models built on the E39 platform. Rebound adjustment can help compensate for changes in spring rates, vehicle setup, and driving preferences without requiring removal of the shock from the vehicle, supporting more convenient suspension tuning. The twin-tube construction is designed to provide consistent operation during demanding road conditions while maintaining controlled suspension movement.

This automotive suspension component is intended for installation on compatible applications and should be used with the appropriate supporting suspension hardware. Verify vehicle year, model, axle position, and existing suspension configuration before ordering. The KONI Sport 8741 Series front shock is sold individually and is suitable for replacement or performance-oriented suspension upgrades where adjustable damping is desired.
