Hold your hood up smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-0244HW, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 BMW 525i, 1997-2000 BMW 528i, 2001-2003 BMW 530i, 1997-2003 BMW 540i and 2000-2003 BMW M5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. Measuring 13.11 inches, this Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston at an extension speed and damping tuned for this application.

  • Dynamic damping: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
  • OE-based design: built to the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
  • Easy installation: installs with no special tools.

If the original strut has lost gas charge and no longer holds the hood, this replaces it. For best results, replace supports in pairs.

Which vehicles does it fit?

It fits the 2001-2003 BMW 525i, 1997-2000 BMW 528i, 2001-2003 BMW 530i, 1997-2003 BMW 540i and 2000-2003 BMW M5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

How does the dynamic damping work?

A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston at a tuned speed, creating fluid motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop.

Should I replace both supports?

For best results, replace the supports in pairs so both sides hold and cycle the hood evenly.

How do I know if my lift support needs replacing?

Signs include a hood that drifts down, won't stay raised, or opens slowly or unevenly. If a worn support is the cause, this part replaces it; diagnose the cause before ordering.
