Purpose and fitment

The presented trunk lid is designed for installation in the rear body section of the BMW E90 series, maintaining factory mounting points and body lines. Its placement in the rear zone means this component is responsible for both protecting the luggage compartment and ensuring the proper closure of the vehicle's body structure.

Its original BMW origin promotes proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and lighting, which reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications. As a result, the trunk lid works well for repairs where maintaining factory gaps and geometry is a priority.

Black Sapphire Metallic paint finish

The trunk lid is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, a color characteristic of many BMW E90 configurations. This shade of black with metallic flakes provides a subtle yet modern look to the body, harmonizing well with both light and dark styling packages.

For users who want to limit the scope of paint work, the factory color is a significant advantage – in many cases, local touch-ups or polishing are sufficient instead of a full repaint. This solution helps shorten repair time and optimize service costs.

Characteristics of the used component

The trunk lid comes from the secondary market, meaning it is a used part that retains its structural functionality. Such components are often chosen for post-accident repairs when the priority is combining good quality with a reasonable budget.

For body components, it is essential that the structure maintains stability and the ability to properly mount hinges, locks, and seals. A used OEM trunk lid usually fits the factory geometry better than low-budget aftermarket replacements, which facilitates adjustment and subsequent vehicle use.

Use in repairs and upgrades

BMW E90 Rear Trunk Lid Tailgate Bootlid Boot Black Sapphire - 475 is suitable for both standard replacement of a damaged part and for restoration projects where preserving the car's original character is important. It can be used in:

• repairs after rear-end collisions,
• restoring the factory look of the body,
• BMW E90 vehicle reconstruction projects.

By maintaining the original construction, the trunk lid works with factory sealing and mounting solutions, which helps maintain the proper rigidity of the rear body section and protects the luggage compartment from external elements.
