Detailed Description

Tuff Support 614076 is a hood lift support for BMW vehicles that require a body-code-specific replacement. Coverage includes BMW 220i and 230i models with F22 and F23 body codes, BMW 3 Series and 4 Series applications such as 328i, 330i, 430i, and 440i, plus performance models including M2, M235i, M240i, and M140i.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing hood support that no longer holds the hood open securely
• Slow hood lift action when opening the engine compartment
• Uneven hood support on BMW models with worn gas struts
• Difficulty accessing the engine bay during routine service
• Loss of consistent hood positioning on supported applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the BMW body code before ordering, since fitment varies by chassis and safety equipment. Confirm the exact model, year, and notes shown in the fitment list, especially for F22, F23, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F36, and F87 applications. Compare the original support length and mounting style to the replacement before installation.
