Product Description

The KONI 8040-1271SPORT Sport Rear Shock is engineered to significantly improve handling and ride quality on the rear suspension of your 1999-2005 BMW 3 Series E46 with Sport or M-Technik suspension. This shock absorber features an internally adjustable rebound damping system that allows you to fine-tune how the vehicle responds to road conditions, making it suitable for spirited street driving or occasional performance use. Its twin-tube low pressure gas design provides a refined balance between comfort and control, delivering enhanced cornering stability and reduced body roll compared to standard OEM shocks.

Built as a direct replacement for your factory rear dampers, the 8040-1271SPORT works well with both stock springs and performance or lowered setups (up to approximately 35 mm drop). The distinctive yellow finish of the KONI Sport Series resists corrosion and signals upgraded performance. Sold individually, this rear shock is recommended to be installed in pairs to maintain even handling characteristics across the rear axle and backed by KONI's limited lifetime warranty for durability and peace of mind.
