Detailed Description

The URO 51248171480 trunk lid lift support is a rear gas strut engineered for specific BMW fitment. It restores trunk lid lift assistance on the BMW 740i, BMW 740iL, and BMW 750iL, helping the trunk open and stay supported with the controlled motion expected from an OE-style replacement. This part number, 51248171480, is a direct-fit option for owners replacing a worn or weak rear lift support on 1995-2001 BMW 7 Series vehicles.

Construction details include a maintenance-free high-pressure gas design, metal housing and piston rod assemblies, and low-friction sealing components that help maintain smooth operation over time. The OE-style end fittings support easier installation when replacing an existing rear trunk strut.

This part cross-references Stabilus 5B-3286GW and Lesjofors 8108414 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow rear trunk lift assistance
• Uneven or inconsistent trunk opening effort
• Noise or rough movement from a worn gas strut
• Loss of original trunk support on BMW 740i, 740iL, or 750iL models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear trunk lid fitment before installation and compare the existing strut length and end fittings to the replacement part. This support is a specific-fit application for the rear position on the listed BMW models. For best results, replace a worn support when the trunk no longer opens smoothly or will not remain fully raised.

Quality Assurance

URO lists a 24-month unlimited mileage warranty for this trunk lid lift support. The design uses OE-style fittings and a gas strut construction intended to match original trunk lid lift assistance on the specified BMW applications.
