"Let me know how it goes, my wife doesn't like the weight of the lid as well. Alternatively you can install aftermarket automated system to lift the lid on key press. But that's well north of $500."



Finally I did received the trunk lid struts (From Germany) BMW Dealers here are asking over $100 per strut. It took 5 minutes to replaced the 2014 X1 with the 2015 X1 struts. Wife couldn't believe how easy was to open and close the trunk lid.

I did mentioned on another Forum all the accessories I have been installing in her X1 since new (She told me to stop with the Trunk lid Struts) Here is the list: Paint protection film, Seat covers, Costume mats, Rocker Xline sill, Trailer hitch, Roof rack Cross bars, GPS, Radar detector, Tint all windows, and trunk lid struts.
