Installed rear cargo hatch shock

Purchased the kit from getbmwparts.com for 71.00 bucks. 5 min install and love it. Always hated storing items in lower compartment and having to hold the cargo floor up with the other hand.

I'm going to do this as well. Wasn't exactly sure what it was for when I saw it on GETBMW... now I know.

Thanks for sharing.

Complete kit part numbers

Hey great posts, got a couple of questions. First is this the only part number you have? I researched it and it corresponds only to the plate. I found the part number for the shock, but the four bolts listed, I could not. Did you need any other parts or was this it?

Does it really matter? It's about 2-3lbs of parts and packing materials, they're not going to rape you on shipping, it's normal/fair pricing based on my previous orders.

My order of the kit, and a few other small misc items was $12.95


Note: if you have the rear cargo liner, you know the rubber liner to cover your trunk floor, this works with it, and can keep it up. It is heavier to lift, and I did break and subsequently have to replace my handle. But the important part is that it is strong enough to support the cargo mat weight.

Nice mod!

Can you feel that there are 4 bolts there from the top of the cargo floor?

It's a required mod - I don't know why it didn't come this way from the factory. Fits perfectly, you can't tell it's installed from the top side.

Definitely odd how this didn't come with US X5s. No more holding the cargo floor up with my head I suppose!

Do you know if this will fit a 2019 x3 m40i? I have one in production. I can't believe BMW had this in the 2018s but then eliminated it for 2019s!

If you have the mounting tab on the lower section within your trunk, you can make it work.

2012 BMW X5 MSport Edition

Besides being missing from the standard editions, I can't believe this inexpensive part(s) was not included in the 2012 BMW X5 MSport Edition which I recently purchased.

It wasn't included in X5M either so don't be very surprised.
