[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 691173, member: 4527"] This is one area BMW failed. For a reason.. Compare to conventional boot lid design, it's spring loaded with a a simple hinge, lack refinement and consume valuable boot space due to the huge hinge handle and the spring compartment. The moment the lid is release, the spring will lift the lid. Only E60 has it. The rest are just the hinge and 2 dampers to keep the lid up after we open it. Pros and cons.. The Spring design will sacrifice boot space compare to normal BMW lid with dampers/lifters. E60: Spring loaded [img]http://www.complexion-automotive.com/acatalog/bmw5new2.jpg[/img] F10 too: [img]http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/indian-car-scene/284449d1265690552-2009-mercedes-benz-e350-cdi-avantgarde-w212-vs-2010-bmw-530d-f10-535-boot.jpg[/img] Compare to E Class.. :4: [img]http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/indian-car-scene/284450d1265690552-2009-mercedes-benz-e350-cdi-avantgarde-w212-vs-2010-bmw-530d-f10-350-boot.jpg[/img] E39: Dampers lifters, look at how tinny the hinge is and zero boot space consumed.
