Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support P/N:5B-9006XW
Smooth, controlled trunk opening starts with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-9283HM. This 13.66-inch gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 BMW 525I, 1997-2000 and 1979-1981 BMW 528I, 2001-2006 BMW 530I, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, and 2000-2003 BMW M5. It uses dynamic damping speed control and an internal compression spring to help lift the trunk lid off the latch when released.
When a gas lift support wears out, the trunk lid may drop, drift down, or feel weak on opening. For best results, replace in pairs. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

What vehicles does the Stabilus 5B-9283HM fit?
It fits the 2001-2003 BMW 525I, 1997-2000 and 1979-1981 BMW 528I, 2001-2006 BMW 530I, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, and 2000-2003 BMW M5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
How does the dynamic damping work?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, controlling extension speed for a fluid motion that narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
What does the internal compression spring do?
It compresses when the lid is closed to give an added boost during initial opening, helping release the application from the latch mechanism.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace in pairs. Installing a matched pair helps both sides support the trunk lid evenly and open with consistent motion.
What are signs this lift support needs replacing?
A trunk lid that drops, drifts down, feels weak on opening, or no longer stays up may indicate a worn gas lift support. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
