Question Hydraulic lift mechanism for trunk floor on 2010's

Have any of you checked if you have the hydraulic shock which holds the trunk floor elevated when opened?

Here's where this is coming from... A while back there was a thread about the fact that some folks noticed that the mechanism was missing from their cars on delivery. After further checking apparently it came on some cars and it didn't on others, no rime or reason was determined. This was few months ago if I am not mistaken (sorry have not bothered to try and find the thread again), so I assume this was on new 2009 X5s... Now come the 2010s... aaaand remembering this issue I have asked my sales guy to check the car for this since I am picking it up tomorrow and wanted to have this resolved if it became an issue. Well... he says that he checked the car and it doesn't have the mechanism. There are mounting points for it just as the folks reported in the past, but no shock. He also checked 10 other X5s he happened to have on the lot and says that none of the 2010s have that. X6s he says do, but not X5s. He went as far as to check w/Service and Parts to see if there is a bulletin or something on this but apparently there isn't. Parts dept is still checking for the parts since the part itself was, as I remember from the thread, in the $60 range and I want to get it done one way or another.

Question to any of you w/2010s received - have you checked if you have this mechanism and if not could you?

Thanks!
