When factory dampers lose internal pressure, the boot becomes dangerously heavy or fails to stay raised, creating storage difficulties and potential safety hazards. These aftermarket replacements match the original positioning exactly, returning consistent lifting force that keeps the trunk securely elevated without sagging. Engineered for the 318Ci, 320Ci, 325Ci, 330Ci, and M3 convertibles, they bolt directly into the existing chassis mounts, making them a straightforward upgrade for daily driving or weekend trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandling \u0026amp; Installation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways engage the piston rod’s safety latch or secure it with a heavy-duty strap before removing the old unit to prevent accidental deployment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect surrounding paintwork with masking tape or a soft cloth when sliding the new struts into their mounting brackets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify the eject force feels even across the full arc of motion before tightening the final fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting Position: Rear upper tailgate\/boot lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Length: 366 mm ±2 mm (centre hole to centre hole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired Lifting Force: 280 Newtons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Reference: 51248227895\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Brand new aftermarket pair (non-genuine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e2 × Rear Tailgate Gas Support Struts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment Reminders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm your vehicle’s exact model variant and production year before purchasing.
