The Stabilus 5B-9832NI is a gas spring built for BMW E46 applications that need controlled lift and support. With a 320 N (72 lb) force rating, it provides measured assistance for panels or lids that rely on smooth opening and stable hold.

  • 320 N / 72 lb force rating
  • Extended length: 349 mm (13.74 in)
  • Compressed length: 244 mm (9.606 in)
  • Rod diameter: 8 mm (0.315 in)
  • Tube diameter: 18 mm (0.709 in)

Detailed Description

This Stabilus 5B-9832NI gas strut is specified for a range of BMW E46 chassis vehicles, including 1999-2000 BMW 323i and 328i, 2000 BMW 323Ci and 328Ci, 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, 2001-2005 BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, and 330xi, 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci and M3, and 2001-2003 BMW 320i plus 2004-2005 BMW 320i. The measured dimensions and plastic socket ends support accurate replacement selection when matching the original lift support geometry. This part cross-references URO 51248254281 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Weak or failing lift support on BMW trunk, hatch, or panel applications
  • Slow or uneven opening action
  • Panels that no longer stay raised securely
  • Loss of original support force from a worn gas strut
  • Noise or inconsistent movement from an aging strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the original strut’s force rating and mounting style to the 5B-9832NI to confirm proper replacement on the specific BMW E46 application. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before snapping the plastic sockets into place.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed dimensions and fitment requirements for the specified BMW models.
