Purpose and Function of the BMW F13 Trunk Lid

The offered trunk lid is dedicated to the rear of the BMW F13 series body, ensuring correct geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with factory equipment. By maintaining the original construction, it provides a solid base for transferring hinges, the lock, gas struts, and other components mounted on the trunk lid.

Its placement on the rear of the vehicle guarantees proper cooperation with the roofline, fenders, and bumper, which is important for both trunk sealing and maintaining the vehicle's factory aerodynamics.

Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416 Color and Paint Aspects

The factory color Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416 is a distinctive, dark shade of metallic black used in BMW models, which harmonizes well with the F13 body line. The use of original paint facilitates visual matching with other body panels, limiting the scope of potential paintwork to adjustments and blending.

For body and paint shops, this means the ability to precisely match the coating using standard mixing systems, and for the user – a consistent vehicle appearance after repair without the need to repaint the entire rear of the body.

Installation Aspects and Performance Parameters

The trunk lid in this offer belongs to the Trunk Lids and Tailgates group, which means maintaining factory mounting points and the structural rigidity intended by the manufacturer. The appropriately selected weight of the part contributes to the proper operation of the gas struts and hinges, and also affects the comfort of opening and closing the lid.

Its placement on the rear of the vehicle requires maintaining the correct pivot axis and edge geometry to ensure uniform gaps relative to adjacent panels. The original design facilitates adjustment after installation and allows for factory fitment without the need for body modifications.

Product Characteristics and Service Application

The part comes from the BMW offering and is intended for service applications where maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specification is crucial. The used nature of the part allows for economical repair while preserving the original construction and compatibility with other body components.

This type of trunk lid is suitable for both accident repairs and replacement due to wear and tear, corrosion, or deformation. For workshops specializing in the BMW brand, it is a practical solution that reduces repair time and the scope of bodywork.

Part Selection by OEM and Interchangeable Numbers

The product has an assigned OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in service catalogs and parts selection systems. This allows for precise matching of the lid to a specific BMW F13 body version, taking into account differences due to the production year or equipment configuration.

For certainty in selection, it is recommended to compare the OEM number and reference numbers with the vehicle's documentation or data read by the VIN, which minimizes the risk of purchasing an incorrect body part.
