Part Number for Hood Shocks?

[vvanata]

Does anyone know what the part number is on the hood shocks? I have looked on ebay for the parts and it looks like there are too different ones, so not sure which is right.

Thanks everyone

I don't think so. I put in my VIN on real OEM and got that. Mine is a 2001 740iL so thats the part number it came up with

Yep, OP mentioned he saw two different part numbers. Justing helping him understand why that might be. This additional information might also help other owners choose the right gas pressurized springs for their car too. REALOEM says ali hoods are on some Euro 750 and L7 only.
