QiMox Hood Lift Supports for BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 (2006–2013) — Pair, Direct-Fit Gas Struts, Corrosion-Resistant

If your BMW hood sags, slams, or no longer stays open, these QiMox hood lift supports provide a straightforward fix that matches OEM geometry and mounting points. Designed to the original fitment specs, the pair replaces failing factory struts so the hood opens with consistent, controlled motion. Built from high-carbon steel, chrome plated for corrosion resistance and filled with anti-wear hydraulic oil, these struts are engineered to endure harsh climates and repeated use.

How will these struts improve daily use of my BMW hood?

Replacing tired or leaking hood struts immediately restores stable lifting and holding action, making routine checks and maintenance easier and safer. The QiMox units provide predictable resistance through the full travel range, stopping the hood from dropping unexpectedly. You’ll notice smoother operation and a more secure hold when working under the hood.

• Direct-fit for BMW E90/E91/E92/E93 2006–2013 — installs without modification.
• Extended length 15.63", compressed 9.64" for correct hood geometry.
• Prevents hood slamming and reduces need to prop the hood open manually.

Are these gas struts durable and weatherproof?

QiMox struts are built for longevity using Grade 45 high-carbon steel and multi-layer chrome plating that resists rust and abrasion. The internal hydraulic oil and seals are selected to maintain pressure across a wide temperature range, helping avoid leaks and performance loss in both hot and cold climates. They’re rated for over 50,000 compression cycles, so they’re meant to outlast typical factory replacements.

• Grade 45 steel body with chrome plating to resist corrosion.
• Hydraulic oil and seals designed for -40°F to 110°F operation.
• Engineered for 50,000+ cycles to minimize repeat replacements.

How easy is the installation — do I need special tools?

Installation is designed to be DIY-friendly: no drilling or welding required and basic hand tools are sufficient. The struts use standard ball-stud mounting points and include two units per package for a left-and-right replacement. Typical replacement takes about five minutes per side for someone comfortable using a screwdriver and small wrench.

• Drill-free, direct-fit design installs using existing mounting points.
• Package includes two struts (2 pcs) and fits with a screwdriver or wrench.
• Average install time ~5 minutes per side for non-professionals.
