KONI STR.T 8250 Series Rear Shock Absorber KON8250 1021 for BMW 5 Series E39

KONI STR.T 8250 Series, orange painted, non-adjustable twin-tube low pressure gas charged shock absorber.

The KONI STR.T 8250 Series rear shock absorber is designed to provide dependable ride control and responsive handling for select BMW 5 Series E39 applications. Featuring KONI’s signature orange finish, this non-adjustable shock absorber uses a twin-tube, low-pressure gas-charged design to help control suspension movement and maintain consistent vehicle stability during everyday driving.

Built for direct replacement of the original rear shock absorber, the KONI STR.T 8250 Series supports improved damping performance without requiring manual adjustment. Its twin-tube construction helps deliver controlled suspension response over uneven roads, while the low-pressure gas charge helps reduce foaming and maintain more consistent damping under normal operating conditions. This application is intended for BMW 5 Series models excluding wagon, 540i V8 wagon, M5, and vehicles equipped with the Sport Package where noted.

The KONI part number KON8250 1021 fits select 1998–2003 BMW 5 Series sedans, including 528i, 530i, and 540i models. Confirm the vehicle configuration and suspension equipment before ordering to ensure proper application. This product is sold individually and is intended for rear suspension installation.
