Z4C tailgate struts

[philiper]

Afternoon all,

Just wondering if anybody knows (apart from dealers) where I can source these from? Lots advertised on ebay, Amazon, etc. But they don't seem to realise they are not the same size for E85 and E86!

Thanks as usual

Thanks but part number is not the issue, sourcing the correct one is!

SGS. Google them the do just about all types and good quality but you will need to have the dimensions ready to match

Thanks @Nodzed, as you say need to measure my current ones and then see if anything SGS offers, matches mine

They also do replacement metal ends for the struts, I had them on my Ms better than the standard plastic ones.

I am in the process of emailing them, as lots advertise the part number, but state and show both roadster and coupe

Appreciate your time

The above should be correct, matched the OEM part number on their site
