BMW X2 Bonnet Strut Replacement Parts

The BMW X2 (F39, 2018–2023) uses gas-charged bonnet struts rather than a traditional prop rod, so you are in the right place searching for a strut. There are two struts, one on each side, and both are commonly available from breakers. If your strut has collapsed or won't hold the bonnet up, replacing the gas strut is the correct fix.

The BMW X2 F39 received a facelift in 2020, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and bumper. The bonnet itself and its mounting points are unlikely to have changed, meaning the struts may well interchange across the facelift, but you should confirm this with the breaker against your registration before buying, as we cannot guarantee cross-facelift fitment. Give the breaker your reg and ask them to check the part number from the donor car against yours.

A 2018 X2 is a pre-facelift F39, while a 2021 X2 sits in the post-2020 facelift period, so these span the facelift boundary. The bonnet strut mounting points may be identical and the parts could well interchange, but confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing, as fitment across a facelift cannot be guaranteed without checking part numbers.

Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the BMW X2; the struts are the same across sDrive, xDrive, SE, Sport, M Sport, xLine, and M Sport X variants within the same generation and facelift period. The only variable worth checking is whether the bonnet itself is the same colour or finish, but that has no bearing on the strut. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period rather than the trim badge.

No – whether your X2 is a petrol, diesel, sDrive (front-wheel drive) or xDrive (four-wheel drive), the bonnet and its struts are shared across all engine and drivetrain variants within the same F39 generation. You do not need to specify your engine when asking a breaker for this part. Simply confirm the model year and, if possible, whether your car is pre- or post-2020 facelift.

Bonnet struts are sided on the BMW X2, so make sure you tell the breaker whether you need the nearside (NS, left as you face the car from the front, i.e. passenger side) or the offside (OS, right as you face the car, i.e. driver's side) strut. Both struts are identical in many cases, but it is best to confirm with the breaker, as part numbers can differ between sides. Providing your registration when contacting the breaker will help them pull the correct listing from the donor vehicle.
