Purpose and function of the BMW E61 Touring rear window

The original rear window for the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring is designed as an integral part of the tailgate, responsible for proper rear visibility, body sealing, and the structural stability of the vehicle's rear section. The AS3 tinted glass limits interior heating and reduces glare, which translates into a more comfortable ride in sunny conditions. The black finish allows for an aesthetic connection with seals, moldings, and other tailgate components.

Construction, color, and fitment

This item belongs to the Car Windows category and is intended for installation in the rear of the body, in the upper tailgate panel characteristic of the Touring version. The tinted glass ensures a consistent look with the factory side windows, and the black frame facilitates precise seating in the tailgate structure as well as proper routing of seals and mounting elements. As a result, the glass maintains the factory body lines and requires no stylistic compromises.
