Technical characteristics and intended use

The presented glass belongs to the Car windows group and is structurally prepared for installation in the rear part of the BMW E82 series body. The placement on the vehicle, defined as rear, means that the component works with the factory body frame, seals, and the heating and wiper system provided for the rear window in this model.

The AS3 marking indicates the tinted nature of the glass, which translates into limiting light penetration into the vehicle interior and improving the optical comfort of passengers. At the same time, the glass maintains the parameters required for this type of body component, including appropriate durability and resistance to typical operational loads.

Benefits of using a tinted rear window

Using a tinted rear window in a BMW E82 affects several key areas of vehicle usage:

• increased driving comfort due to the reduction of sunlight in the rear part of the cabin,
• better protection of the interior against fading of upholstery and trim elements,
• a more consistent, factory look of the body characteristic of versions with tinted windows,
• reduction of the glare effect from the lights of vehicles driving behind.

For many users, it is also important that the tinted glass installed as an OEM element maintains the parameters provided by the vehicle manufacturer, which promotes the structural stability of the body and proper cooperation with other components of the rear part of the bodywork.

Original origin and fitment for BMW

The glass was designed specifically for BMW, which translates into precise fitment to the E82 body without the need for bodywork or seal modifications. The original origin from the BMW OE group means that the geometry, glass thickness, and edge finish are in accordance with the manufacturer's factory assumptions.

Such fitment facilitates service work – installation is carried out based on standard procedures used in workshops dealing with glass replacement, and the risk of leaks or stresses resulting from improper fitting is reduced. This is particularly important in the case of the rear window, which works with body elements responsible for the rigidity of the structure and the tightness of the trunk and the rear part of the cabin.

Used condition – a conscious choice in the premium segment

The item is offered in a used condition, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to purchasing new glass while maintaining its original origin. For owners of premium cars, such as BMW, this is a reasonable compromise between quality and budget, especially during post-accident repairs or when replacing damaged glass elements.

The growing popularity of original components from dismantling also results from the limited availability of new parts and rising prices in authorized distribution channels. A properly selected used glass allows for restoring the full functionality of the vehicle while maintaining the look of the rear part of the body characteristic of BMW.

Compatibility, identification, and selection

The selection of the appropriate rear window for a BMW E82 should always be based on vehicle data and manufacturer markings. In the product specification, there is information available such as brand, OEM part number, interchangeable numbers, or placement on vehicle, which facilitate verification of compatibility with a specific body version.

Additionally, in the description, you will find the SKU marking, which allows for quick identification of the product in the store's system and avoids mistakes when placing an order. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the markings on the removed glass with the data in the specification or consulting with the service center installing the component.
