Intended Use and Fitment

The offered rear trunk lid is structurally designed for installation in the rear of the 3 Series F30 generation and the sporty F80 M3 version. By preserving the original body panel geometry, it allows for proper alignment with fenders, the rear bumper, and seals, minimizing the risk of leaks and incorrect mounting gaps.

This component is designed as a structural part of the rear bodywork, responsible for proper trunk closure, cooperation with hinges and the lock, and stable guidance of the lifting struts. This solution is particularly important for maintaining the correct operation of the lid's opening and closing mechanism.

Color and Paint Finish

The lid is factory painted in the Melbourne Red Metallic - A75 shade, characteristic of sporty BMW configurations. The metallic paint finish provides depth of color and good integration with other body elements of the same paint code.

The ready-to-use paint finish can, in many cases, reduce or completely eliminate the need for full component repainting, shortening repair time and reducing labor costs. In practice, this means a faster return of the vehicle to service after rear bodywork repairs.

Construction Characteristics

The trunk lid is designed as a rear bodywork component that:

• provides adequate rigidity in the rear section of the vehicle,
• allows for proper installation of accessories (lock, hinges, struts, wiring harnesses),
• maintains the styling line of the 3 Series F30 and F80 M3,
• is adapted for everyday use conditions.

By preserving the original construction, existing mounting points in the body can be utilized, facilitating installation and reducing the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Condition and Service Application

This part is from the aftermarket and is intended for service applications, accident repairs, and replacement of worn parts in BMW 3 Series F30 and F80 M3 vehicles. A used trunk lid offers a cost-effective solution while maintaining original manufacturer specifications.

This solution is particularly useful for repairs where the combination of factory fitment and a reasonable repair budget is crucial, without the need to resort to aftermarket alternatives with uncertain geometry.
