Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The presented trunk lid strut is dedicated for installation in the rear body section of the BMW G11 series, where it works with the hinges and the lid mechanism. Its task is to control the movement of the trunk lid, limit abrupt opening, and stabilize the lid's position in the upper range of operation.

Thanks to appropriately selected force parameters and operating characteristics, this component ensures:

• smooth lifting of the trunk lid,
• secure holding of the lid in the open position,
• reduction of loads acting on the hinges and rear mountings.

Construction and Fit for BMW

The strut has been developed as an original BMW part, which means a perfect fit for the factory mounting points on the body and the lid. The construction is optimized for the geometry of the G11 rear body section, thus requiring no modifications or adaptations.

Key structural advantages include:

• precise fit with factory brackets in the rear body area,
• actuator operating characteristics designed for BMW,
• stable operation throughout the full opening and closing range of the lid.

Condition and Service Application

The offered part is used, making it an attractive service solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. This type of part is ideal for replacing a worn-out strut that no longer holds the lid in the upper position or causes uneven opening.

Replacing the trunk lid strut is particularly recommended when:

• the lid tự động lowers after opening,
• significantly more force is required to lift the lid,
• disturbing noises occur at the end of the movement range.

Benefits of Using an Original Strut

Using an original BMW G11 trunk lid strut allows for maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the rear lid. Precise fit minimizes the risk of stress on the body, and the correctly selected actuator force contributes to the comfort of using the trunk in daily operation.

The most important benefits include:

• maintaining factory ergonomics for opening and closing the lid,
• reduced load on the hinges and mountings in the rear body section,
• consistency with other elements from the Trunk Lid and Rear group for the specific BMW model.
