This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 51243400379 (51 24 3 400 379) and is described as Trunk Shock / Rear Hatch Shock for the first generation (E83 chassis) BMW X3, as produced in the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 model years. This includes BMW X3 2.5i and X3 3.0i models. 

Has the rear hatch in your BMW X3 started drooping on its own? Does it feel heavy to open, or slam itself shut too forcefully? Do you need to hold it with one hand to prevent it from bonking you in the head? These are all signs that your BMW X3 has suffered a trunk / hatch shock failure. 

Your BMW X3 has two of these gas-pressurized sprint struts that help balance the weight of your rear hatch to be not too heavy (and not too light.) When one or both of these trunk shocks fail, you'll get the above symptoms. Fortunately, replacing this issue is easy if you have a new high quality part such as this one! 

As the BMW X3 uses two of these (and they are sold individually) we recommend buying two to do the job right. 

Please note: If your BMW X3 has the M Sport rear spoiler, or an aftermarket rear spoiler, it adds a few pounds of weight to the trunk hatch panel, which will make this particular trunk shock not the perfect one to use. For this reason, we recommend this trunk shock for "stock" non M-Sport model BMW X3 that do not have an extra rear spoiler. If you are OK with the hatch being slightly heavier (particularly when it closes) you can use still use this trunk shock. 

Sold individually. Be sure to buy two if you are replacing both.
