Purpose and function of the component

BMW F01 F02 Tailgate Finisher Boot Lid Cover Sophisto Grey Brilliant 2 - B90 is a decorative and protective trim mounted on the rear of the vehicle, on the tailgate. It is responsible for the aesthetic finishing of the boot lid edge, masking mounting gaps, and helping to maintain the correct body lines in the rear zone.

Its placement on the rear of the vehicle makes this element both visually and practically significant – it improves the optical perception of the vehicle after body and paint repairs and allows for the preservation of the factory tailgate geometry.

Color and paint matching

The trim is factory-painted in the Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect 2 – B90 shade, characteristic of selected BMW 7 Series F01/F02 configurations. Thanks to this, when repairing or replacing the component, you can:

• maintain color consistency of the rear body section,
• minimize the scope of additional paint work,
• achieve a visually uniform effect with the remaining body panels.

Selecting the original paint shade is particularly important for premium vehicle repairs, where precision of fitment and color accuracy influence the final value of the car.

Mounting characteristics and application

The element belongs to the Tailgates and rear components group, which means it is designed to work with the factory construction of the BMW F01/F02 boot lid. The design of the trim allows for installation in the place intended by the manufacturer, while maintaining proper positioning relative to the lights, lock, and other rear assembly components.

In practice, installation involves correctly seating the trim on the tailgate using the designated mounting points. This allows for the restoration of the original appearance of the vehicle's rear section after a collision, corrosion, or previous non-original repairs.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The offered element is in used condition, which provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing such a part allows you to:

• reduce repair costs compared to a new component,
• maintain factory fitment to the tailgate,
• preserve the original finish of the rear body zone.

This is a practical solution for body and paint workshops as well as individual users who expect a reasonable compromise between price and compliance with the factory BMW design.
