Fitment questions
Does the BMW i7 actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a different mechanism to hold the bonnet open?
Yes, the BMW i7 does have bonnet struts — gas-charged struts on each side of the engine bay that hold the bonnet open automatically without needing a manual prop rod. This is standard across all i7 variants regardless of drivetrain or trim level, so you are looking for the right part.
Which generation of BMW i7 are the bonnet struts from, and does it matter which year my car is?
The BMW i7 is the first generation of this model, launched in 2022 on the G70 platform, and as of 2025 remains within that single generation with no facelift having been confirmed. This means all i7s built so far share the same fundamental front-end structure, and bonnet struts from any 2022-onwards G70 i7 should be from the same design family — but always confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Will a bonnet strut from a 2022 i7 fit my 2024 i7?
Both the 2022 and 2024 BMW i7 sit on the same G70 platform within the same first generation, and no facelift has been introduced in that period, so the bonnet and its associated struts are expected to be the same. That said, BMW occasionally makes running production changes that are not publicly documented as facelifts, so it is always worth confirming the part number against your registration with the breaker.
Does it matter whether my i7 is an eDrive50, xDrive60, M70, or another variant — will the bonnet strut still be the same?
For bonnet struts, the drivetrain and performance variant make no difference — the front-end bodywork and bonnet mechanism are shared across all i7 variants on the G70 platform, whether eDrive50, xDrive60, or M70 xDrive. You do not need to match the powertrain when sourcing a strut, though it is always sensible to confirm with the breaker that the part number matches your registration.
Does it matter whether my i7 is a standard wheelbase or long-wheelbase version — are the bonnet struts the same?
The wheelbase difference on the i7 affects the rear of the car, not the front end, so the bonnet and its struts are shared regardless of whether your car is the standard or extended-wheelbase body. Bonnet struts from any G70 i7 should interchange on this basis, but confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
Do I need to buy bonnet struts as a pair, or can I replace just the NS or OS strut on my i7?
Technically you can replace just the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) strut that has failed, and breakers will often sell them individually. However, because gas struts wear gradually, if one has failed the other is likely near the end of its life too, so many mechanics recommend replacing both at the same time to keep the bonnet lifting evenly — ask your breaker whether they can supply a matched pair from the same car.
