Purpose and fitment

The presented boot lid has been designed for installation at the rear of the BMW E92 series body, with the placement specified as Rear. This ensures the retention of factory mounting points, proper alignment with fenders, bumpers, and seals, as well as correct operation with the factory lock and actuators.

The component comes from the BMW OE line, which in practice translates to dimensional compatibility with the original boot lid installed as original equipment. This allows for the restoration of the original body rigidity in the rear of the vehicle and maintains the correct operation of the boot lid during daily use.

Color and surface finish

The boot lid is finished in the factory color Titansilber Metallic - 354, characteristic of many BMW E92 units. The metallic paint coating ensures an aesthetic appearance and visual consistency with other body elements in the same shade.

For vehicles in the identical color, it is often possible to limit work to polishing and potential local color matching, which shortens repair time and reduces the costs of renovating the rear of the body after a collision or original lid corrosion.

Technical characteristics and condition

The offered boot lid belongs to the Boot lids and rear lids group, meaning it is structurally adapted to handle the loads associated with daily opening and closing of the lid, as well as for cooperation with factory seals and lighting. As a used item, it comes from dismantling, which allows for the reuse of an original part in the vehicle repair process.

The product has assigned OEM catalog numbers and corresponding interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and model year of the BMW E92. Additionally, the SKU designation allows for unambiguous identification of this specific unit in the warehouse system.

Application in body repairs

Replacing the boot lid is a typical stage of repairing the rear of the body after a collision, parking damage, or advanced corrosion. Using an original BMW E92 boot lid in Titansilber Metallic allows you to:

• maintain factory lines and gaps between body elements,
• limit the scope of body filler and straightening work,
• minimize paint shade differences in the rear of the vehicle,
• maintain the correct operation of the lock, hinges, and seals.

Thanks to this, the repair process is more predictable, and the final result is closer to the factory assembly standard.
