Purpose and compatibility with BMW

The presented trunk lid has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series E90 generation after the facelift (LCI). This ensures the preservation of factory body lines, correct mounting gaps, and compatibility with the original hinges, lock, actuators, and wiring harness transferred from your vehicle. As a result, the replacement of the damaged component is predictable and compliant with the manufacturer's technology.

Color Black Sapphire Metallic - 475

The trunk lid comes in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, one of the popular, elegant metallic paints used by BMW. For owners of vehicles in the same shade, this means the possibility of reducing paint work – in many cases, standard surface preparation and potential local color matching are sufficient, without the need for a full repaint of the component. This is a cost-effective and time-saving solution that also allows for maintaining the consistent, factory character of the bodywork.

Characteristics of the used OEM component

The trunk lid comes from dismantling, which means it is a used original BMW part. In practice, this translates to:

• factory dimensions and geometry,
• correct mounting points for hinges and the lock,
• compatibility with the E90 LCI body line,
• the ability to use the existing wiring harnesses, lock, and accessories already in the car.

This type of part is a good choice for post-accident repairs, bodywork corrections, and restoring the car to a near-factory state while maintaining reasonable costs.

Benefits of installing this trunk lid

Using an original trunk lid in Black Sapphire Metallic offers a number of practical advantages:

• reduction of paint work scope due to the matched color,
• preservation of the factory body line and rear aesthetics of the vehicle,
• easier installation thanks to serial mounting points,
• possibility of economical repair compared to a new component.

For body shops and individual users, this means faster repair completion and a predictable final result. The BMW trunk lid in this color will work well for both post-accident repairs and replacing a component due to corrosion or wear and tear.

Installation area and practical application

The component is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the trunk area. A correctly selected trunk lid affects:

• stiffness and tightness of the rear body section,
• proper closing and operation of the trunk lock,
• trouble-free installation of license plate lights, trim strips, or emblems (transferred from your car).

This is an important element both in terms of functionality and visuals – it is responsible for the appearance of the rear of the BMW and the comfort of daily trunk usage.
