Vehicle Application and Function

The presented strut is dedicated for installation on the right side of the tailgate, where it is responsible for the controlled lifting and support of the lid. In BMW G30 and F90 M5 series vehicles, this component works in conjunction with hinges and locks, forming a cohesive system responsible for comfortable trunk operation and proper lid guidance throughout its entire range of motion.

A well-chosen gas spring reduces the risk of overloading the hinges, minimizes noise during lid operation, and contributes to precise closing, which is important for both user convenience and the durability of the entire rear lid assembly.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Strut

Using an original strut in a BMW offers a range of practical benefits:

• secure guidance of the tailgate throughout its full opening range,
• appropriately selected gas force characteristics for the lid's weight,
• consistent operation with factory hinges and lock,
• preservation of the original geometry and driving refinement of the rear body section.

Thanks to this, the trunk opening system operates predictably, and the user does not have to manually compensate for the lid's movement or fear its sudden drop.

Condition, Fitment, and Installation

The part comes from the used BMW parts group, allowing for economical replacement while maintaining original construction and operating parameters. The strut is designed for direct installation in place of the factory equivalent, using the original mounting points on the body and the lid.

In practice, installation is limited to correctly detaching the old part and fitting the new one into the existing sockets, without the need for body modifications or additional adjustments. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or when replacing a worn-out gas spring that no longer holds the lid in the upper position.
