Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:5B-679035
Hold your hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-1464BM, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a range of BMW models, including the 1984-1985 and 1991-1992 BMW 318I, 1991 BMW 318IS, 1992 BMW 320I, 1986-1988 BMW 325, 1984-1987 BMW 325E, 1987-1993 BMW 325I, 1987-1991 BMW 325IS, 1988-1991 BMW 325IX, and 1988-1991 BMW M3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Stabilus tunes each Lift-O-Mat unit with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for refined, controlled damping. If a worn support that no longer holds the hood or drifts closed is the cause of your trouble, this replaces it. For best results, replace supports in pairs.
