Purpose and fitment for BMW 5 E61 Touring

The presented tailgate is a factory body component for the BMW 5 Series Touring E61, designed for installation at the rear of the vehicle. The original construction ensures proper alignment of the body lines, correct fitment with the fenders, bumper, and glass, as well as compatibility with factory hinge and strut mounting points.

Thanks to the preservation of OEM geometry, installation is predictable, with no need for structural modifications. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where precise restoration of the factory rear body geometry is essential.

Color, finish, and visual aspect

The tailgate is in Silver / silver metallic, corresponding to the factory Silbergrau Silver Grey Metallic shade used by BMW. For many repair projects, this means the possibility of limiting paint work exclusively to potential local touch-ups, which shortens repair time and reduces costs.

The silver metallic paint effectively masks minor shade differences resulting from the vehicle's age, making it easier to achieve a visually consistent effect for the entire rear section. This is a beneficial solution for both body shops and individual users concerned with the car's aesthetics.

Performance and construction parameters

The tailgate belongs to the Tailgates and rear lids group, i.e., components responsible for closing the cargo space, body tightness, and proper airflow at the rear of the vehicle. The construction intended for rear mounting works with the factory lock, license plate lighting, and the electrical installation provided for this model.

The component has a specific weight, which is important when selecting struts and hinges – maintaining factory tailgate mass parameters promotes the proper operation of the opening and closing mechanism without overloading the mounts.

Condition, origin, and service application

The offered tailgate is a used original BMW component, sourced from dismantling. This type of part is particularly valued in accident and restoration repairs when the priority is maintaining factory build quality, correct sheet metal profiles, and compliance with manufacturer documentation.

A used tailgate will prove useful both in professional body shops and independent workshops specializing in the BMW brand, where assembly repeatability, predictable fitment, and the ability to quickly replace a damaged element without long waiting times for new parts are essential.

Support in selection and additional information

The element has an assigned SKU, OEM part number, and available interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific version of the BMW 5 E61 Touring. If necessary, you can also consider the placement on vehicle, color, and weight to match the tailgate to the vehicle configuration and repair requirements.
