Morning Michael

It's that time of year all the little jobs that we have been saying "I'll do that when its warmer" catch up.

I have changed gas struts but not on the 5 series F11 I would first look at realoem.com to make sure part numbers matched. I would also look at newtis.info for the remove and install information. I find both a great help. Just a thought didn't some of the F11 have power opening tailgates I wonder if that's a possible upgrade?

Hi Mike

I came across these on a Facebook page and thought it was a great idea....not sure whether their range covers BMW as yet but maybe worth contacting?

There is a video on his page that shows it auto-opening but cannot share it for some reason
