What does this hood lift support do?
It is a gas-charged strut that helps raise and hold the hood open. Stabilus Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping controls the opening speed for a fluid motion without bouncing or jerking.
Will this fit my BMW?
It is listed for 53 BMW applications from 2012-2022, including the 2-Series, 320I, 328I, 335I, 420I, 430I, 440I and M2. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and model.
Should I replace both hood supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Matching supports on both sides help the hood open and hold evenly.
What are signs a hood lift support may need replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts or drops on its own, opens slowly, or no longer stays raised. If a worn support is the cause, this replaces it.
Are any special tools needed to install it?
No. Per the manufacturer, it is easy to install and requires no special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
