As expected it's the latest generation of their FSD technology. The most noticeable difference I see at the moment is that they are not gold anymore but red.

Per their online catalog, parts number for E46 are the same as for the previous FSD shocks.

Front struts for E46 sedan/coupe - 8745-1022L & 8745-1022R
Rear shocks for E46 sedan - 8245-1023
Rear shocks for E46 coupe - 8245-1024
interesting... it would be nice if they gave a little more detail on the changes. it looks like they're doing some 'blow off' stuff looking at the graph, but it would be good to have some details.
