Hood Shock, OEM - E46 M3

This hood shock for your E46 M3 is an OEM gas shock that replaces the tired shocks that no longer hold up your hood, or prevent it from dropping on your head! Because of the unique hood on the E46 M3 (which is significantly different than it's non-M counterparts) these gas-pressurized hood struts are specific to the M model E46. 

If the hood on your 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 or 2006 model M3 coupe or convertible won't stay up on its own, the culprit is your E46 M3 hood shocks, and buy two of these new OEM replacement hood shocks can have your hood staying up all on its own again.
