Purpose and fitment for BMW E90

The presented trunk lid has been designed specifically for the BMW E90 series, maintaining factory mounting points and body geometry. This ensures precise alignment with the fenders, bumper, and rear lighting, which translates into correct panel gaps and stable trunk closure. The component comes from the BMW manufacturer's line, ensuring compatibility with the body structure and sealing system.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic – A22 color

The finish in Sparkling Graphite Metallic – A22 is a characteristic graphite metallic paint used by BMW at the factory. Using the original color allows, in many cases, for bodywork to be limited only to potential minor touch-ups, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. For users who care about the visual consistency of the body, this is a practical solution when replacing a damaged trunk lid.

Vehicle placement and structural function

The trunk lid is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the trunk area. It is responsible for:

• closing the luggage compartment and protecting transported items,
• working with hinges, locks, and lift supports,
• maintaining the proper rigidity of the rear body section in the trunk opening area,
• correct seating of lighting elements and decorative trims, if provided in the given configuration.

By maintaining the factory geometry, the trunk lid ensures proper closing, correct seal adhesion, and compatibility with original lock and hinge mechanisms.

Characteristics of the used component

The trunk lid comes from the secondary market, which is a beneficial solution for users looking for original BMW components at a reasonable price. A used body part is a good solution for post-accident repairs when the priority is to maintain the factory structure and fitment while reducing costs compared to a new part.

Application in body and paint repairs

Replacing the rear trunk lid is a standard procedure for mechanical damage or corrosion in the rear of the body. Using an original BMW E90 Boot Trunk Lid Tailgate Rear Bootlid Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 allows you to:

• minimize the scope of straightening and filling of the existing damaged lid,
• achieve factory body lines without additional adjustments,
• speed up the assembly process thanks to compatibility with factory mounting points.
