BMW Shocks & Struts for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Clear BMW chassis

Looking to buy shocks for your BMW? Turner has the best options available. We carry only the highest quality German brands, including Bilstien, Koni (which come with Lifetime Warranty) as well as Genuine BMW shocks & struts. We won't carry a shock if it's not something we would use on our own personal BMWs or our Turner Motorsport BMW project cars. Would you want to use anything else?

Is you BMW not riding and driving like the crisp cornering machine it used to? It's probably time for a new set of shocks. The factory BMW shocks typically only last about 50 or 60 thousand miles before they wear out and start failing. Failed, leaking or lifeless old shocks make your BMW feel unsettled, cause uneven tire wear and can even be dangerous. Your BMW's shocks are a critical part of the suspension system, and should keep your tires planted on the road. If your shocks haven't been replaced in 60, 80 or 100 miles, you are definitely due for a new set.

Choose a shock type below to browse shocks for your BMW. Bilstein and Koni offer higher performance, improved handling over stock with limited Lifetime Warranty. Genuine BMW shock absorbers are also available for some models if you want a factory ride quality once again.

Koni suspension has taken their long running FSD (Frequency Selective Dampening) Technology and improved upon it to create their new Special Active suspension package. Improving handling while also improving the comfort of your BMW's ride, Special Active shocks and struts prove they are a top contender in the replacement suspension market.

Koni's Special Active dampers adapt to the continuous imperfect road conditions in order to provide you with a more responsive and smoother ride. Thanks to multiple generations of suspension expertise, these shocks and struts rival expensive ride control systems of newer vehicles but at a cost that is significantly lower and a capability to be retrofitted into existing vehicles.

Designed by Koni for the vehicle's original stock ride height, these are not intended to be used with lowering springs and will perform best when paired with stock springs.

Koni Special Active Features:

KONI’s latest generation of Frequency Selective Damping Technology
Improves safety and road holding
Technology proven on over 1.5 million factory equipped vehicles
Secure and stable feeling for spirited driving
Unrivaled aftermarket solution can be fitted to most new and older cars
Driving refinement for cars, trucks, SUVs, etc.
Technology that rivals expensive Original Equipment electronic systems
Performance for driver and comfort for passengers in one

To get the most out of your new suspension setup, it's recommended that you replace all parts that are known to fail. Not only will this make your new setup more effective, it will provide a better ride, proper tire position, and make all of your parts last longer. One often overlooked piece is the upper strut bearing. This is the top mount for your struts and provides a solid platform for your front suspension. If worn, the bearings within this mount make noise, there is slop from worn rubber, and it can shorten the life of your shocks.
