Purpose and function of the tailgate

The offered trunk lid is a body component mounted at the rear of the car, responsible for closing the cargo area and sealing the vehicle's interior. The design, intended for the estate version, provides convenient access to the trunk while offering a stable base for components such as the lock, hinges, and installations routed within the lid (e.g., wiring, lighting – if provided in the specific vehicle configuration).

Thanks to its factory shape and geometry, the tailgate maintains the correct body lines, which facilitates the alignment of gaps between body panels and ensures proper closing of the trunk after accident repairs or the replacement of a corroded lid.

Color Olivine Green Metallic - 349 and visual matching

The finish in Olivine Green Metallic - 349 allows for maintaining color consistency with the factory body paint in the same code. For many users, this means the possibility of limiting paint work exclusively to potential touch-ups, which shortens repair time and reduces the costs of renovating the rear of the vehicle.

The metallic paint coating provides a characteristic depth of color and blends well with the body lines of the 5 Series estate, emphasizing the car's elegant character. In the case of professional body and paint repairs, maintaining the original shade is important both from an aesthetic point of view and for the vehicle's potential residual value.

Vehicle placement and assembly aspects

The tailgate is designed for installation in the rear of the body, in the trunk area. Proper fitment to the estate construction facilitates the work of the body shop – the line of creases, window outlines, and edges interacting with the bumper and fenders are preserved. This makes it possible to:

• recreate factory gaps between body elements,
• correctly set the mounting points for hinges and the lock,
• maintain the proper geometry of the rear of the vehicle after repair.

The element can be used both for accident repairs and for replacing a tailgate due to corrosion, mechanical damage, or operational wear.

Condition of the element and practical application

The tailgate comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive solution for users looking for original body components at a reasonable price. Such elements are often chosen by workshops specializing in accident repairs, where factory fit and the ability to mount quickly without the need for vehicle structure modifications are valued.

In practice, such a tailgate will work well for:

• comprehensive reconstruction of the rear body section after a collision,
• replacing a corroded or deformed trunk lid,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition during renovation.
