ET, my shocks are in pretty nasty situations in these few weeks.
Now actually the chassis absorbing the shocks from the road but not the suspension.
So i am saving money now for the new shocks and thinking which to get. (Looking for cheap option)
So how much is your KONI cost?
When i test drove your car last time, the Koni wasnt the sportiest suspensions around but it definitely absorbs the road noises and the vibration.
Which is what i want![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

Go Go Go. You should ask your family to contribute for the repair since they also drive it. ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)

you got me interested et so I googled fsd:
Then, at the end of last summer, I read an article in Roundel about a new shock absorber that Koni has developed, that they called "Frequency-Selective Damping", or FSD. The idea is that they can respond differently to high-frequency inputs vs. low-frequency ones: there is a valve inside that sits in parallel with the rest of the oil passages, but only opens when the shock is hit fast enough with sufficient force. This means that, for high-frequency inputs (those produced by the wheel when it hits a pothole or other significant bump), it can respond softly and soak up the impact, but for low-frequency ones (produced by the movement of the car body as you brake, corner, change lanes, etc.), it can respond stiffly. So, the idea is that, theoretically at least, these shocks can improve handling and ride quality simultaneously.
rest of the review below:

when mine goes, this will be top of my list as shocks replacement.
