Thanks for the vid bro! I ordered struts for the trunk of my 98 M3. The trunk struts work pretty much the same way as the hood struts you're demonstrating for anybody interested in that info. I couldn't find a vid specific to my trunk struts but this one did the job just fine. With your help it took me five minutes to change both struts without breaking anything! Thanks for taking the time to post this DIY.

Thanks for this video. Are the hood struts and clips the same on newer model BMWs?

[AutoWerksofAmerica]

@megamanxtc The clips may not be exactly the same, but will be similar.

Be careful when you do this - I did it on my trunk. You will be amazed how heavy that trunk slams down with no dampers on it. It can easily slice your fingers off. Make sure you have a spare 2x4 to keep it propped open as you work.

Thanks for this video. Used it to replace my Alpina B3 struts. Hope you don't mind I've linked to your video from my site b3alpina.com. Jim (Scotland)

Great info. After watched the video, I replaced my hood struts with ease; different clips but same principle.
