This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this lift support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that supports the trunk lid as it opens and holds it up. An internal compression spring helps release the lid from the latch and boosts the initial opening motion.
Will this fit my BMW?
It's a direct-fit replacement for 2007-2013 328I, 2007-2008 328XI, 2007-2013 335I, 2008-2013 M3, 2009-2013 328I XDRIVE, 2010-2013 335I XDRIVE, and 2011-2013 335IS. Check the Buyer's Guide tab.
Should I replace both supports at once?
The manufacturer recommends replacing them in pairs for best results, so both sides open with balanced, even motion.
What makes the Lift-O-Mat damping different?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall controls how gas flows around the piston, delivering a fluid opening motion with no bouncing and a gentle, controlled stop near the end of the stroke.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. It's designed for easy installation and requires no special tools; it's based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function.
