Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm this KONI part fits my vehicle?
Match the complete part number, year, make, model, axle position, suspension type, drivetrain, chassis, and every exclusion or equipment note.
Is this KONI listing for one component or a complete kit?
One KONI component in manufacturer packaging. Replace dampers in axle pairs when required by the manufacturer and confirm every additional mount, spring, boot, stop, and fastener needed.
Is this KONI damper adjustable?
Adjustment depends on the exact KONI series and part number. Some products are externally adjustable, some require removal for adjustment, and others use fixed or frequency-selective damping.
Installation Instructions
- Verify the exact part number, application, position, suspension configuration, and package contents before disassembly.
- Support the vehicle safely and follow the factory service procedure for spring and damper removal.
- Transfer or replace mounts, bearings, boots, bump stops, and hardware only as specified for the application.
- Torque all fasteners at the specified suspension position and complete an alignment whenever suspension geometry is disturbed.
- Confirm clearance, fastener torque, ride height, and damper operation before normal driving.
BMW 228i xDrive Parts and Accessories
Find BMW 228i xDrive parts by body, chassis and engine. Intake connections, all-wheel-drive chassis coverage and brake equipment need to match the actual vehicle configuration. Engine and Intake Layout Injen covers specified F22 228i/xDrive N20 applications. Match production details, engine and inlet connections, and compare the airbox, filter and mounting pieces supplied in the exact kit. For a four-door car, use the 228i xDrive Gran Coupe application. The two-door Coupe intake installation should not be transferred to that platform without explicit coverage. AWD Chassis and Brake Service Suspension and driveline components need xDrive coverage for the exact chassis. Review non-AWD exclusions and record any electronic damping or previous suspension changes. Choose pads, rotors and wear sensors by installed brake option, axle and dimensions. A wheel or suspension change also calls for checking clearance and alignment requirements as part of the installation plan. Choose Your Part I...

Choose BMW 230i xDrive parts with generation and all-wheel-drive chassis coverage established first. Intake kits, suspension components and brake-service parts need their own equipment checks. Engine and Intake Application Injen lists specified F22/F23 230i/xDrive 2.0T intake applications. Match engine, production coverage and existing inlet connections, keeping later-generation installations separate. Compare the complete kit’s housing, filter, mounting and ventilation fittings. A replacement filter must service the actual installed intake rather than a visually similar housing. xDrive Chassis and Brake Equipment For suspension and driveline components, use explicit xDrive coverage for the exact generation and body. Review damping restrictions, mounts, spring requirements and wheel clearance. For brake service, identify caliper, rotor dimensions and material, axle and pad shape. Confirm the sensor connector and routing separately and review whether fitting hardware is included. Cho...

BMW 320i xDrive Parts and Accessories
Find BMW 320i xDrive parts with the all-wheel-drive chassis and exact engine application established. Induction, exhaust and suspension components must account for more than the 320i badge. Engine Applications and Connections Choose intake components using explicit 320i xDrive coverage for the engine fitted. A kit listed for a 328i or a different engine calibration is not confirmed by sharing the chassis alone. Compare inlet connections, air-meter provisions and breather fittings. For a throttle controller, verify the pedal connector and application; it changes pedal response rather than proving an increase in engine output. All-Wheel-Drive Chassis Selection Use xDrive-specific suspension coverage and review front-axle clearances, axle loads and damper equipment. Retain the manufacturer’s wheel-clearance and alignment requirements. Exhaust routing and mounting must also suit the body and drivetrain. Compare the complete kit rather than assuming a rear-wheel-drive system has the same...

Shop BMW 328d xDrive parts for the all-wheel-drive diesel saloon or Sports Wagon. Plan brake and suspension work around the actual body and factory equipment. Diesel AWD and Body Details The U.S. 328d xDrive pairs a four-cylinder diesel with all-wheel drive. Sedan and Sports Wagon body applications need their own checks for chassis and body-related components. For engine service, use the installed diesel engine and housing references. An intake or filter intended for a petrol 328i is a separate application. Brakes and Loaded Chassis Use Identify rotor dimensions, caliper and axle before comparing pad kits. Select a compound for the car’s normal road or competition use rather than by a broad 3 Series heading. Suspension must cover xDrive, body and axle loads. For a regularly loaded wagon, review the intended ride height and available travel as part of the spring and damper choice. Choose Your Part Confirm diesel xDrive and body.

F34 Intake Connections Injen Evolution intake applications include selected F34 328i configurations. Confirm the exact engine and emissions equipment before comparing sensor fittings, breather connections and mounting. Review whether the kit supplies an enclosed airbox, scoop, adapters and service filter. An F30-only listing should not be extended to the Gran Turismo without explicit F34 coverage. Gran Turismo Chassis and Body Suspension needs Gran Turismo body, xDrive and axle-load coverage. A sedan kit’s mounting or lowering specification is not automatically an F34 application.

Explore BMW 340i Gran Turismo xDrive parts for the F34 body and B58 six-cylinder. Use GT-specific application details when comparing induction, cooling and chassis components. B58 Intake and Cooling BMW’s F34 340i GT xDrive uses the B58 engine. Injen 340i/340i GT applications provide a starting point for comparing inlet fittings, sensor provisions and mounting. The B58 uses indirect charge-air cooling integrated with the intake system. Identify the circuit and exact component when comparing cooling upgrades; do not substitute an earlier engine’s intercooler layout. Gran Turismo AWD Chassis Choose suspension with F34 GT, xDrive and axle-load coverage. Body weight, damper type and available travel matter alongside the desired ride height.
