Purpose and fitment

The offered BMW E61 Touring Tailgate Boot Trunk Lid belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts category and is intended for installation in the rear section of the estate body. The OEM design ensures proper geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with factory hinges, struts, and locks, which facilitates installation and adjustment of body gaps.

Its placement in the rear area of the vehicle means this component is responsible for both protecting the cargo space and maintaining the correct body lines, which is important for aerodynamics and the visual consistency of the car.

Paint finish and color

The tailgate is factory-painted in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, characteristic of many high-end BMW models. The metallic paint coating provides depth of color and harmonizes well with chrome and dark exterior trim elements.

For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of paint work – in many cases, local color matching and polishing are sufficient, which shortens repair time and reduces costs.

Performance parameters and installation

The tailgate has been designed for stable operation in the rear of the vehicle, with appropriately selected structural rigidity. The proper weight of the component promotes correct interaction with the lifting struts and locking mechanism, which translates into comfort during daily use.

During installation, it is recommended to:

• check the hinge and strut mounting points,
• precisely adjust the gaps relative to the fenders and bumper,
• verify the operation of the lock and the sealing of the luggage compartment.

This type of body component is particularly important in Touring vehicles, where the tailgate is responsible for the tightness and safety of the transported cargo.

Characteristics of a used product

The offered tailgate comes from the secondary market, which is a beneficial solution for users looking for original BMW components at a reasonable price. A used part allows you to maintain the factory body specification, avoiding fitment issues typical of lower-quality aftermarket replacements.

Choosing an original, used tailgate is especially recommended for post-accident repairs, where dimensional accuracy, proper sheet metal structure, and the ability to easily install factory accessories and equipment are crucial.
