Open your BMW trunk with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support (P/N 5B-034249, also written 5B034249). This 14.53-inch gas-charged lift support uses dynamic speed control and an internal compression spring to release the lid from the latch, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement across the 2001 and 2006-2011 BMW 323I, 2006-2013 325I, 2006 325XI, 2007-2011 328I, 2009-2011 and 2013 328I xDrive, 2007-2008 328XI, 2006-2007 330I, 2006 330XI, 2009-2011 335D, 2007-2011 335I, 2009-2011 335I xDrive, 2011 335IS, 2007-2008 335XI, and 2008-2011 M3 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details).
This is part of the Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus line, which uses a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
What is this lift support and what does it do?
It is a gas-charged trunk lid lift support that uses dynamic damping speed control and an internal compression spring to raise and hold the trunk lid with a smooth, controlled opening motion.
How long is this lift support?
It has a 14.53-inch length. Always confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before ordering.
Does the internal spring do anything special?
Yes. The internal mechanical spring compresses in the closed position to give an added boost that helps release the lid off the latch during initial opening.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold the lid evenly.
Are special tools needed to install it?
No. It is designed to be easy to install and requires no special tools, and it is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
