Easy job to do and should only take a few minutes (unless the ball joints are rusty!)
Always try and have the boot or tailgate safely secured or held by someone when you do this! Safety First! :-)

My struts have just gone. BMW quoted me over £160 to replace them! Having seen this, I'm gonna do it myself. So, thank you for saving me a chunk of hard earned cash! 😊😊👍👍👍👍
It really is quite easy to do yourself
After watching I’ve ordered replacement struts and will save £ by fitting myself. Cheers geezer for a most helpful video.
No problem 👍
Excellent video. I just changed my E91 boot struts after watching this make it look so easy (took me less than 5 minutes to do both sides).
Glad it helped
Mike... you certainly have the most diverse set of videos I have ever seen. :) Thanks for another great one!
Lol thanks sky! At least you never get bored and you never know what might be next
Ahh, Thank you Mike!. I've just ordered some from eBay. Now I can do it myself. Cheers buddy.
Glad to help
Thank you. I'm doing this job today... really helpful. 👍
Hope the video helped
Exactly what I needed - clear explanation and demonstration! Thank you for the video! Great job!
Glad it was helpful! nice easy job that is worth doing to avoid the tailgate shuffle
Thanks for this. Will be changing the struts in my 330d this afternoon, looks straightforward!
Yes it should be plain sailing ⛵️
Thank you, made doing mine straightforward!
Great post Mike and really helpful. A word of warning though, just in case you’re a Homer like me. The tailgate is EXTREMELY heavy, more than you’d think. One of my old struts was completely dead, and while scrabbling about with the screwdriver to remove the other I stopped supporting the tailgate weight/lost balance of it, tailgate slammed shut. Result. Very badly cut finger - lucky I didn’t lose it - and very slight damage to car body, where partially removed strut got caught between body and tailgate. Afterwards I cleaned myself up and finished the job fine. N.B. When lifting the tailgate to attach the second end of the strut you have to lift it a lot higher than you feel it should go. Moral of the story. It’s a 2-person job, and if you do it alone take real care 😂
wow sorry to hear that
Ha ha. No worries. Thanks again for your helpful vid it gave me the confidence to make the change. 😊
Great video helped me greatly👍🏼
Glad it helped
Very handy. Cheers mate.
Great vid thanks pal
No problem 👍
Thanks for this and the link. Away to order!
No problem! And thanks for using our link
Hello, I didn't really think to check before purchasing but the struts in the Amazon link you provide are not the same as the stabilus ones you are fitting in the video. Fitted them and they work but not as well as the OEM ones.
Just ordered new struts for my e91, so did a quick search to see how they are swapped and found your video, nice and straight forward 👍 do you have any more videos that cover the e91 ?
thanks steve, i don't think i have. there was one or two in the e90 which is effectively the same
@@mikesunboxing ok wil see what i can find , cheers 👍
Helpful clear instructions, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thank buddy. 👍
No problem 👍
@@mikesunboxing had to over extend mine a touch more than I thought but it is now working a treat. Only one of them had blown but best to change both. 🙏
Yes true and t is false economy to do one
Good work buddy
Thank you! Cheers!
Very helpful thank you
Glad to help
If you want to make it just bit easier use vise grips on strut to hold it up when you change other side. But great video thank you.
Great point!
Well no. As it'll damage the stanchion, which in turn will split the seal
@@ZafiraSteve Strut is all ready broken why does it matter? And after you get new strut to otherside it can hold tailgate weight while you change otherside.
@@kepab961 for some reason, I was thinking you meant use vise grips on the new one 😆 🤣 😂
@@ZafiraSteve yea don't do that 😂😂
How do you change a battery on a Microsoft Surface RT 8.1 ??
Good question, i think it involves heating up the screen and prising it apart
@@mikesunboxing No...It isn't that way, lol
Mine don't fit on my e82
are they typical ball joint ones? why don't they fit
Are these struts interchangeable left and right?
Yes they are universal, just make sure you fit them up the right way (not upside down) Good luck!
it's time to go back
oh yes :-)
Mate,is thisnhhe same process for a BMW 318d ?
I've got the same issue (tailgate won't hold up ) as Struts are worn.
Cheers.
yes should be the same for 5 series also
@@mikesunboxing thanks Mike,it went on me the other day ordered the new parts.
