Purpose and fitment for the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring

The offered tailgate is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring, i.e., the estate version. The component was designed as an original part, which translates into proper alignment with the roofline, fenders, and bumper, as well as correct positioning relative to seals and lighting. Placement on the vehicle in the rear zone ensures full compatibility with the factory body structure, hinges, and the tailgate lock.

Le Mans Blue Metallic – 381 color and functional benefits

The tailgate is finished in the factory color Le Mans Blue Metallic – 381, characteristic of sport-styled BMW models. Thanks to this, owners of cars in this shade can limit the scope of paint work, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. The metallic paint coating ensures a visually consistent effect with the remaining body panels, and proper surface preparation allows for potential local paint corrections if required after installation.

Construction, installation, and use in repairs

As an item from the Tailgates category, this rear tailgate has been designed for convenient access to the cargo area in the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring. The construction is intended to work with factory actuators, the lock, and equipment wiring, which facilitates the transfer of components from the previous tailgate. The used nature of the part makes it a reasonable solution for post-accident repairs, body restorations, or restoring the car to a state close to factory condition without the need to invest in a new part.

Benefits of using an original tailgate

Using an original rear tailgate in the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring allows for maintaining the proper body geometry and the correct operation of the opening and closing mechanism. Factory fitment reduces the risk of leaks, rattles, or issues with lock adjustment, which is important for both user comfort and protecting the trunk interior from moisture. This is particularly significant in estate cars, where the cargo space is heavily utilized.
