Latest X3 releases without gas-spring for spare-tire cover

Hi!

this Friday I'll pick up my brand new X30 30i fully specced.
I went for a BMW because I've got impressed by the quality of the interiors and how they took care of the details like the little gas-spring that keeps open the spare tire cover.

It looks like that with the newer releases the gas spring is not available anymore.

What's the reason?
Do you have the part number?

As as soon as I pick up the car I'll share some

Thanks!

What's funny is they removed it from the 2019 X3 but added one to the 2019 X5...

I believe the X5's have had the strut for quite a while now.
