Replacement RB61030012 Power Trunk Lid Lift Support Actuator Left Driver Side

The Replacement RB61030012 is a direct-fit, left-side (driver side) power trunk lid lift support actuator designed for 2009–2015 BMW 7-Series models equipped with the factory Automatic Trunk Lid Mechanism. This unit replaces OEM part number 51247185713 and restores fully automatic trunk lid operation.

What It Does:

This component — also known as a power spindle drive or lift actuator — uses an integrated electric motor and geared spindle mechanism to automatically raise and lower the heavy trunk lid at the press of a button. It works in tandem with the right-side actuator (51247185714) to deliver smooth, even operation.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for BMW OEM part number 51247185713
• Left (driver) side trunk lid power lift actuator
• Compatible with the BMW F01/F02 platform (2009–2015 7-Series)
• Designed for vehicles equipped with option code S316A (Automatic Trunk Lid Mechanism)
• Restores automatic trunk opening and closing functionality
• No dealer programming or coding required for installation

Symptoms of a Failed Actuator:

• Grinding or rapid clicking noise during trunk operation
• Trunk lid opens or closes unevenly or struggles to move
• Power trunk function works intermittently before failing completely
• Trunk lid must be operated manually

Important Note: This power lift actuator is only compatible with BMW 7-Series vehicles that have the factory-installed Automatic Trunk Lid Mechanism (option code S316A). Vehicles without the power trunk feature use standard gas-pressurized struts, which are not interchangeable with this part.
