Rear hatch liftgate strut replaced.
 

Wonder if other folks had their rear lift gate struts (non auto) replaced under CPO. If not then I'll probably need to search for a DIY for the E70?

Looks like part number #4 (left/right) with no pricing info

04 Gas pressurized spring, trunk lid 2 51247177283 ENDED
04 Gas pressurized spring, trunk lid 2 51247294199

run it through getbmwparts.com for pricing.

Yeah they are about $60 each but strange that they require 2 for two different part number. Cant be 2 for each side so maybe they are interchangeable and not dependent on left right? :dunno: Strange and not much comes up goggling it or on this forum regarding replacements.

The ENDED number is discontinued. The replacement is 51247294199- qty 2.

They are the same for each side.

Thanks, here is the DIY for those interested.
