Application and fitment for BMW 3 E92 Coupe

The presented trunk lid is intended for installation on the rear of the BMW 3 Series E92 Coupe. The construction corresponds to the manufacturer's original design, which promotes proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and lighting. As a result, the original body line geometry and correct closing of the trunk lid are maintained after replacement.

The component belongs to the Boot lids and rear parts group, meaning it is designed as an integral part of the rear body structure, responsible for both functional use (access to the luggage compartment) and the vehicle's rigidity and aerodynamics.

Spacegrau Metallic A52 color and benefits of factory paint

The trunk lid is finished in the original Spacegrau Metallic A52 color, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series E92 models. The factory metallic paint:

• facilitates color matching to the vehicle's existing paint coating,
• reduces the need for full repainting of the component, which can shorten repair time,
• ensures a consistent, aesthetic appearance of the rear body section.

For many users, this means the ability to return the car to service faster after body and paint repairs, while maintaining the characteristic BMW metallic grey shade.

Technical characteristics and installation

The trunk lid has been designed for installation at the rear of the vehicle, taking into account factory mounting points for hinges, actuators, and the lock. The design provides for integration with original equipment components, such as seals, wiring harnesses, or license plate lighting (mounted separately, according to the specific vehicle configuration).

The component has a specific weight, which is important for selecting the appropriate actuators and maintaining proper balance of the lid during opening and closing. This allows for maintaining trunk operation comfort close to the factory standard.

Condition of the component and use in repairs

The trunk lid is offered as a used part, making it an attractive solution for post-accident or renovation repairs, where a reasonable cost relative to the vehicle's value is important. A used original component often allows for better alignment of geometry and body lines than generic aftermarket replacements.

This solution is particularly effective in the case of:

• repairs after rear-end collisions,
• replacing the component due to corrosion or mechanical damage,
• restoring the vehicle to a factory-like condition after previous modifications.
