BMW 5 Series Tailgate Struts – OEM Replacement Guide & Product Overview
For BMW owners, everyday convenience is defined by smooth and reliable details — and BMW 5 Series tailgate struts are one of those critical components. Commonly known as tailgate lift supports or gas struts, they are designed to safely lift and hold the trunk or tailgate open while loading or unloading.
Across popular BMW 5 Series generations such as F07, F10, F11, and G30, tailgate struts are engineered to deliver balanced lifting force and controlled motion. However, due to frequent use and natural gas pressure loss over time, worn struts may cause slow lifting, sudden dropping, or difficulty keeping the tailgate open — affecting both safety and user experience.
Replacing aging struts with OEM or OEM-equivalent BMW 5 Series tailgate struts restores original performance, protects the tailgate structure, and ensures safe, effortless operation. In the following sections, GASTAC will showcase specific OEM-compatible tailgate strut options with detailed images, specifications, and applicable BMW 5 Series models to help you select the right solution with confidence.
