Technical specifications and intended use

The offered trunk lid is a component from the Trunk lids and rear parts category, designed for installation in the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series E90 generation. The construction is compatible with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and helps maintain the correct geometry of the vehicle's rear. The product comes from the BMW line, which ensures the preservation of original body rigidity and compatibility with factory seals and fittings.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 paint finish

The trunk lid is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, a color characteristic of many BMW E90 configurations. This shade of metallic black blends well with the body lines, allowing for an aesthetic replacement of the component without the need for a full repaint of the rear section, provided the rest of the bodywork is in the same color. The metallic paint coating ensures a consistent visual appearance with the other body panels in this color.

Condition, construction, and assembly aspects

The item is in used condition, which in practice means it may show signs of wear typical for parts removed from a vehicle, but it retains its structural functionality. The trunk lid is prepared for re-installation in the rear body section, maintaining the factory hinge and lock mounting points. The properly selected weight of the component promotes the correct operation of the actuators and opening mechanism, provided they are functional and selected according to the vehicle's factory specifications.

Use in body repairs and benefits of choosing OEM

Using an original BMW trunk lid for body repairs reduces the need for edge adjustment, gap alignment, and paint corrections, which are often required with aftermarket replacements. Choosing such a component is particularly beneficial for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• replacing a corroded or mechanically damaged trunk lid,
• restoring the vehicle's factory appearance after modifications.

By maintaining the original body geometry, it is easier to achieve proper alignment with the tail lights, bumper, and fender lines, which translates into the aesthetics and tightness of the vehicle's rear section.
