Keep the hood raised and steady with the Tuff Support Hood Lift Support 613657, a direct-fit replacement for a range of BMW models. It fits the 1992-1998 BMW 318I, 1995-1999 BMW 318TI, 1992 BMW 320I, 1992-1995 BMW 325I, 1996-1998 BMW 328I, and 1997-1998 BMW M3.
A hood lift support extends to hold the hood open and dampens its movement so it doesn't slam shut. When the original loses its charge, the hood may drift down, feel weak, or refuse to stay up on its own.
If a worn or weak lift support is the reason your hood won't stay up, this unit replaces it. If your vehicle uses more than one support, inspect the other side and consider replacing them together for balanced hold.
Manufacturer part number 613657.
What does this hood lift support do?
It extends to hold the hood in the raised position and dampens its motion, giving you hands-free access to the engine bay and helping keep the hood from dropping.
Which vehicles does part 613657 fit?
It fits the 1992-1998 BMW 318I, 1995-1999 BMW 318TI, 1992 BMW 320I, 1992-1995 BMW 325I, 1996-1998 BMW 328I, and 1997-1998 BMW M3. Confirm fitment for your vehicle.
How do I know my lift support is worn out?
Signs it may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, feels weak when raised, or won't stay open on its own. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both supports at once?
If your vehicle uses more than one hood lift support, inspect the other side; replacing both together gives more even, balanced hold. Some hoods use only a single support.
Is this a direct-fit replacement?
Yes, it is designed to install in place of the original hood lift support on the listed applications. Verify it matches your vehicle before ordering.
