    Trunk lid shock

    The trunk on my 2011 535i springs open violently - the dampner/shock must be worn out. Anyone know how many there are (one or two), where I can buy one (or two), and how to replace them? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I searched prior postings, but could not find anything on this topic. Kevin

    there are two springs. the left one less expensie ~$30 is NOT it. the one on the right (passenger side) is the culprit and also more expensive ~$65. easy fix pull out carpet holders (plastic pins) pop out broken spring pop in new one, done.
