Product Description

Use the Stabilus 5B-030787 when replacing a worn gas strut on select BMW 328i, 335i, and M3 applications. The length, force rating, and socket-style end connections are the key specifications to match when comparing this part to the original unit. This Stabilus 5B-030787 gas spring is listed for multiple BMW 3 Series and M3 model years, making it a direct-reference replacement for vehicles that require the same dimensions and 320 N output.

This part cross-references BMW 51 24 7 129 194 and URO 51247129194 for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Restores lift support for a hood, trunk, or hatch that no longer stays open
  • Addresses slow, weak, or uneven opening action
  • Replaces a gas spring with reduced holding force
  • Corrects fitment issues caused by worn socket ends or incorrect length
  • Helps eliminate sagging panels that drop during service access

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and end connection style before installation. Compare the original gas spring to the Stabilus 5B-030787 to confirm the 8 mm rod diameter, 18 mm tube diameter, and plastic socket attachments match the vehicle’s mounting points. Always support the panel before removing the old strut.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier for gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed application specifications for BMW 328i, 335i, and M3 models.
