Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 E70

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW X5 E70 generation. The appropriate placement on the vehicle – rear guarantees proper alignment with the body lines, hinges, lock, and other components of the vehicle's rear zone. Thanks to the use of original mounting geometry, precise seating of the tailgate is possible without the need for structural modifications.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, characteristic of many BMW X5 E70 configurations. The metallic paint structure provides an attractive visual effect while making it easier to match the vehicle's existing paint coating. For body and paint shops, this means a reduction in the scope of corrective work and the ability to efficiently restore a consistent appearance to the rear of the vehicle.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate belongs to the Boot lids and tailgates group, which means it has been constructed to withstand the loads resulting from daily use – frequent opening, closing, and the operation of the locking system. The design provides for integration with factory equipment components, such as hinges, actuators, or electrical harnesses, in accordance with the solutions used by BMW in the X5 E70 model.

The component comes from the BMW OE segment, which in practice translates into maintaining factory dimensional tolerances, proper sheet metal pressings, and compatibility with original mounting points. As a result, the tailgate is a suitable choice for both post-accident repairs and comprehensive restoration of the rear body section.

Condition of the component and use in repairs

The product is offered as used, which allows for cost-effective repairs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of solution is particularly beneficial in bodywork repairs, where both technical correctness and cost optimization are important. A used BMW X5 E70 tailgate can be used as a replacement for a damaged component due to a collision, corrosion, or other mechanical damage.

Selection support and additional information

Proper selection of the tailgate for a specific version of the BMW X5 E70 is facilitated by dedicated manufacturer markings, including the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers, which are detailed in the technical specification. This allows the workshop or user to verify the compatibility of the component with their vehicle and reduce the risk of incorrect fitment.
