Purpose and fitment for BMW E60 LCI

The offered tailgate is a body component mounted in the rear part of the vehicle, dedicated to the facelifted (LCI) generation of the BMW 5 Series E60. The construction corresponds to the manufacturer's factory design, which translates into:

• maintaining original gaps and body lines,
• compatibility with factory hinges and lock,
• proper alignment with the rear lights and bumper.

As a result, the tailgate is a practical solution for accident repairs, bodywork corrections, or replacing a component due to corrosion or mechanical damage.

Monacoblau Metallic A35 color and aesthetic values

The tailgate is finished in the original Monacoblau Metallic A35 paint, characteristic of many BMW 5 Series E60 LCI units. The metallic coating provides:

• visual consistency with the bodywork in the same paint code,
• an attractive, deep shade of blue with a metallic effect,
• reduction in the scope of paintwork required when the car's color is well-matched.

For vehicle owners in this color, this means the possibility of a faster and more economical repair of the rear body section, while maintaining aesthetics consistent with the BMW factory standard.

Technical and functional characteristics

The tailgate belongs to the body parts group in the Tailgates and rear parts category, responsible for closing the luggage compartment and protecting the rear of the vehicle. The construction is intended for installation in the rear zone of the car, taking into account:

• appropriate structural rigidity to maintain body geometry,
• adaptation for mounting factory seals and fasteners,
• possibility of integration with original equipment elements, such as license plate lighting or emblems.

The product has a specific weight, which is important when selecting actuators and hinges so that the tailgate operates smoothly and without excessive load on the lifting mechanisms.

Component condition and use in repairs

The offered BMW tailgate is a used original part, which in practice means maintaining the factory geometry and compatibility with the E60 LCI body. This type of part is particularly suitable for:

• accident repairs of the rear part of the vehicle,
• car renovations where corrosion or mechanical damage to the tailgate has occurred,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition in terms of appearance and functionality.

For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between cost and quality, allowing for the preservation of the original BMW character while reducing expenses compared to new body parts.

Compatibility, part numbers, and selection of replacements

The tailgate has a factory OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific version of the BMW E60 LCI. This allows you to precisely match the part to your vehicle, minimizing the risk of installation problems. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the markings with the vehicle documentation or consulting a service specializing in the BMW brand.
