AiYiGu Bonnet Strut Shocks for BMW 3 Series 2006–2012 (E90/E91/E92/E93) — Pair, Gas-Charged OEM Fit

AiYiGu front hood strut shocks replace worn lift supports on 2006–2012 BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93), restoring safe, smooth hood opening and holding.

These two gas-charged hood lift supports are designed specifically to fit a range of BMW 3 Series model years and variants, offering a direct-replacement length and mounting style for a straightforward swap. Sold as a left-and-right pair, the units match OEM fit points and can be installed without additional fasteners; a basic flathead pry to release the old bracket is all that’s required. The struts are manufactured to resist wear from repeated cycles and come with a two-year AiYiGu warranty covering defects.

Which BMW models and years are these hood struts compatible with?

These struts are made to fit many E90/E91/E92/E93 chassis variants from 2006 through 2012, including both standard and xDrive versions where listed. Always verify OEM part numbers or measure compressed/extended lengths to confirm compatibility.

• Compatible models include 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328i xDrive, 328xi, 330i, 335d, 335i, and 335i xDrive (various years 2006–2012).
• Replaces OEM part numbers SG402058 and 51237060550.
• Check vehicle year and engine/chassis code before purchase for exact fit.

How do I install the AiYiGu hood strut pair safely?

Installation is designed to be user-friendly and does not require new screws or brackets; the replacement mounts to the original points. Support the hood with a prop or a helper before removing the old struts, then use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the retaining clip and snap the new strut into place.

• No extra fasteners required — uses factory mounting points and clips.
• Compressed length: 9.83 inches; extended length: 15.58 inches — confirm against your old struts.
• Always secure the hood while swapping struts to avoid injury or damage.

What performance and durability can I expect from these aftermarket shocks?

AiYiGu struts use gas pressure to provide consistent lift and dampening throughout the hood travel, helping prevent sudden drops and making opening and closing smoother. They are built to withstand routine exposure under the hood and come backed by a two-year warranty for material and workmanship defects.

• Gas-charged design for steady, controlled hood operation.
• Durable construction intended for repeated daily cycles and typical engine-bay conditions.
• AiYiGu two-year limited warranty for added purchase protection.

What comes in the package and are any tools included?

The product ships as a pair (left and right struts) and does not include screws or additional mounting hardware. No special tools are necessary beyond a flathead screwdriver to release clips and a support rod or helper to prop the hood during the swap.

• Package contains two struts — left and right — ready to install.
• Screws and extra fasteners are not included; uses existing vehicle clips.
• Recommended tools: flathead screwdriver and a hood prop or assistant.
