Purpose and function of the component

The offered hinge is dedicated to the tailgate of the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring estate body and is mounted on the right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the stable guidance of the tailgate, the correct geometry of its operation, and the even distribution of loads during opening and closing. Using an original component allows for maintaining the factory fitment of the tailgate with the fenders, bumper, and glass, which is important for both the tightness and the aesthetics of the rear part of the body.

Le Mans Blau Metallic – 381 color

The component is finished in Le Mans Blau Metallic – 381 paint, characteristic of many sport-configured BMW models. Thanks to this, the hinge can be used not only as a structural part but also as a component that maintains visual consistency with the rest of the body. In the case of post-accident repairs or replacing a worn hinge, this limits the scope of necessary paint work and speeds up the process of returning the vehicle to service.

Installation characteristics

The right tailgate hinge has been designed for the specific geometry of the E61 Touring body, which translates into:

• proper tailgate guidance throughout the entire range of motion,
• compatibility with factory mounting points on the body and the tailgate,
• maintaining the correct position of the tailgate relative to the seals and the lock.

Thanks to a design consistent with the original BMW project, it is possible to maintain the correct operation of the actuators, lock, and electrical installation routed within the tailgate, without the need for modifying the mounts.

Condition and service application

The offered element is in used condition, which makes it a reasonable choice for economic repairs, where the priority is maintaining functionality and compliance with the factory design at optimal costs. It is particularly useful for:

• repairs after collisions involving the rear part of the body,
• replacing worn or bent tailgate hinges,
• restoring the full efficiency of the tailgate opening and closing mechanism.

Part selection by numbers and compatibility

The element has an OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verifying compatibility with a specific version of equipment and model year of the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring. When selecting, it is worth using the manufacturer's markings to ensure that the hinge will work with the existing tailgate, actuators, and body mounts.
