In today’s installation tutorial, we are breaking down the step-by-step process for retrofitting our Automatic Power Tailgate Lift Kit on the BMW 5 Series F10 (2010–2017). This system grants you full electric trunk automation—allowing smooth opening and closing directly from your factory key fob, driver-side dashboard button, or the rear trunk button. It comes equipped with dual heavy-duty motorized struts, anti-pinch safety obstruction protection, and a complete plug-and-play harness so you don't have to cut a single wire.
