Strut Purpose and Function

The presented strut is dedicated to the tailgate of the BMW 2 F45 Active Tourer model and operates in the rear area of the vehicle. Its function is to control the opening and support the tailgate in a stable position, which reduces stress on the hinges and improves access ergonomics to the trunk.

Thanks to its adaptation to a specific body model, the correct force characteristic is maintained, which translates into predictable tailgate behavior on both the right and left sides. This solution allows for maintaining the factory comfort of operating the rear of the vehicle.

Construction and Vehicle Placement

The strut is designed for installation in the rear body zone, with the possibility of application on the right or left side, according to the tailgate configuration. This placement ensures even load distribution and proper tailgate guidance during opening and closing.

The element belongs to the Tailgate and Rear Parts group, meaning it works in conjunction with hinges, locks, and other components responsible for tailgate operation. The strut's construction is adapted to the geometry of the BMW 2 F45 Active Tourer body, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining original mounting points.

Product Characteristics and Condition

The strut comes from the BMW offering, which guarantees compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards in terms of fit and operating parameters. As a used part from the secondary market, it represents a sensible choice for operational repairs when maintaining the original specification at optimal costs is a priority.

The product is suitable both as a replacement for a worn-out strut and as an element restoring full functionality to the tailgate after bodywork and painting repairs. Thanks to the preservation of original mounting geometry, existing mounting infrastructure in the vehicle can be utilized.

Practical Application and Benefits of Installation

Using the correct tailgate strut in the BMW 2 F45 Active Tourer translates to:

• stable holding of the tailgate in the open position,
• more predictable and controlled closing,
• relieving stress on hinges and mounting elements,
• increased comfort of operating the cargo space.

A well-chosen strut reduces the risk of the tailgate dropping unintentionally, which is important for both user safety and the protection of body elements in the rear of the vehicle.

Compatibility and Reference Numbers

The part has an OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific BMW 2 F45 Active Tourer configuration. Before purchasing, it is advisable to compare the markings with the vehicle's data or the currently installed strut to confirm full compatibility.

Thanks to its assignment to a specific body category, precise fitting to the tailgate system is possible, without the need for modifications to mounting points or interference with the rear body structure.
