Raise and hold your engine bay with confidence using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Hood Lift Support 5B-3293GE — a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged strut that supports the hood as it opens and holds it steady when raised. Measuring 12.84 inches, it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995 and 1997-2001 BMW 740I, the 1995-2001 BMW 740IL, and the 1993-2001 BMW 750IL. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus pairs an innovative oil-channeling system with the patented labyrinth piston, tuned for this application with customized oil viscosities and piston configurations to deliver smooth, controlled motion. A high-grade build and proprietary seal-guide system support reliable operation. If your hood drops or won't stay up, a worn gas strut may be the cause. For best results, replace in pairs.
