Detailed Product Description
Is your Z4 Coupe hatch feeling heavy or failing to stay open? Because of the E86's large rear glass, the hatch requires specific gas pressure to operate safely. Don't risk the "guillotine effect" with cheap aftermarket alternatives. Restore that crisp, factory-lift feel with the Original Equipment (OE) Stabilus Hatch Strut Set.
Stabilus is the factory supplier for BMW. These struts are specifically calibrated to handle the weight of the E86 Coupe's rear tailgate, ensuring it opens smoothly and stays securely at maximum height—exactly as it did the day it left the showroom.
