Hold your BMW's rear hatch open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-011499, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 BMW 328i, the 2009-2012 BMW 328i xDrive, and the 2007-2008 BMW 328xi — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level applications. When a worn support can no longer hold the liftgate up or opens it too quickly, this unit replaces it.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this lift support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that raises the liftgate and holds it open. Dynamic damping controls the extension speed for a smooth, fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking.
Which vehicles does the 4B-011499 fit?
It fits the 2007-2012 BMW 328i, the 2009-2012 BMW 328i xDrive, and the 2007-2008 BMW 328xi. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level applications.
How do I know my lift support has failed?
Common signs include a liftgate that slowly drops, won't stay up on its own, or opens too fast. If a worn support is the cause, this replaces it.
Should I replace both supports at once?
Yes. For best results Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides extend and hold the liftgate evenly.
Is installation difficult?
No. This support is based on the OE design for proper fit and is easy to install, requiring no special tools.
