Purpose and function of the tailgate

The presented tailgate is dedicated to the BMW 5 Series E61/E61N estate body style and is mounted in the rear area of the vehicle. It is responsible for closing the luggage compartment, maintaining the correct body lines, and providing a stable mount for lighting elements and trunk equipment. Thanks to its factory design, it ensures proper fitment with the fenders, bumper, and glass, which is important for both aesthetics and the tightness of the bodywork.

Color and paint matching

The tailgate is finished in Spacegrau Metallic - A52, a color characteristic of many BMW 5 Series E61 models. For users owning a car in the same shade, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of paint work or simplifying it. The metallic paint coating allows for a consistent look with the rest of the body panels, which is essential for accident repairs and visual vehicle restoration.

Technical and assembly aspects

As a component from the Trunk lids and rear parts group, the product is designed to work with factory hinges, the lock, and the trunk equipment installation. The appropriate load-bearing structure of the tailgate enables proper load distribution during opening and closing, and also provides space for the installation of factory seals and trim elements. The weight of the tailgate specified in the technical data is important when selecting gas struts and planning assembly work.

Condition and benefits of using a pre-owned part

The item is offered in a pre-owned condition, which allows for an economical repair of the rear body section while maintaining the original BMW construction. Using a factory tailgate helps maintain the correct body lines and facilitates the installation of other rear-zone vehicle components. This solution is particularly beneficial for accident repairs, where both technical correctness and cost control are important.

Integration with other BMW body components

The tailgate works with other body panels, seals, and lighting elements, creating a cohesive and functional luggage zone. Thanks to the preservation of factory mounting points, it is possible to precisely adjust gaps and planes, which translates into user comfort and limits noise and the ingress of contaminants into the trunk interior.
