thanks for the video, i bought my spring off ebay and it wasnt a bmw original, i had problems at the rear end i.e. the ball and socket end. the socket end of the spring was slightly different to the original in that it had a small piece of spring steel on one side presumably to make it more secure and stop it popping off when in use. i found it impossible to push the spring onto the ball in situ and was going to give up but noticed that the ball was actually threaded into the bodywork of the car and was quite easy to remove. i used pipe pliers to then clamp the spring socket end and the ball together and it popped in ok, i used grease on the ball and socket and put a spare nut on the thread of the ball to protect the thread.(it would have been much easier with a vice but i dont have one at the minute) , it was then quite easy to install the spring and screw the ball end back into the body and its working fine, cheers derek

Same here, my F10 almost to brandnew condition, but remember the F10 uses 2 trunk tension springs Right & Left and BOTH need to be replaced as the left spring is a bit different to the right side. Both OEM originals cost $100 total with an unbeatable Lifetime Warranty! Worth it...

just the right one if you have the same issue as in the video as only on the right side you have a shock absorber + spring (BMW Article no: 7 204 367). Left is only a spring (BMW Article no: 7 204 366).

@OweisAzizi4 жыл бұрын
Sami Wahab left is only a spring, while on the right it’s a spring plus shock absorber. If the spring would be broken the trunk would bounce, if the trunk snaps up as in the video it’s the shock absorber which needs to be replaced, therefore you need the part for the right side. I had the same and didn’t know before either

a BIG WARNING that SHOULD be put at the BEGINNING of this video, is the fact that if you are replacing BOTH springs (the Bigger/Longer one on the RIGHT hand side as well as the smaller/shorter one on the LEFT hand side) . . . the MOMENT BOTH springs go LOSE, you better have something over your head or SOMEONE to HOLD onto the lid !!! It will smash you so hard and injure you for dayyyyys if you FORGET the fact that ONE of hte SPRINGS is the ONLY THING holding it up there, otherwise it drops like a stone, and it is HEAVVVVY as HELL, so it will blow your skull and hurt you if you Don't support it with something at the MOMENT the LAST spring comes out, especially when you are removing and replacing BOTH springs, good luck people and always WEAR gloves in your hands (ideally wool/winter gloves and Not the thin silicon gloves) :) :)

There is no visible difference between the two. The damper is inside the coils of the spring and the ends of the spring attached to the dampers terminals. An old dumper looses its inside pressure with time and the effect is that the trunk does not open as it should

The F10 has to trunk tension springs and i still dont understand why Bozos only change one only when u clearly need to replace both side Right & Left! Or else the one you only replaced will have all the tension pressure directed to it making FAIL prematurely! Both original OEM with a LIFETIME WARRANTY cost $100 and worth it!

The issue here wasn't the spring, it was the shock absorber that failed. And there is only one shock absorber on the right side of the car. I had to replace the spring as well because it comes as one spare part.
