Purpose and function of the component

The offered trunk lid is dedicated to the BMW i3 I01 model and is mounted in the rear of the body. The integrated panel with a window creates a tight barrier between the luggage compartment and the surroundings, contributing to the protection of transported cargo and the vehicle's aerodynamic stability. The construction of the lid is adapted to factory mounting points for hinges, actuators, and the lock, which allows for the use of the existing installation in the car.

Technical and visual characteristics

The trunk lid is finished in black, which is particularly important when matching the original body configuration or planning post-accident repairs while maintaining a consistent style. The included rear window ensures proper rear visibility and compatibility with factory equipment components, such as the wiper or lighting, provided they are included in the specific vehicle specification (they are not part of this offer unless otherwise indicated in the product data).

The component belongs to the Trunk lids and rear group, which means it is designed to withstand operational loads typical for a moving body part – frequent opening, closing, and operation in varying weather conditions.

Condition, origin, and fitment

The product is offered as a used part, which in practice means it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of normal wear while maintaining structural functionality. The original origin from the BMW brand promotes proper fitment with adjacent body components, such as rear fenders, bumpers, or trim strips. This makes it possible to restore the factory geometry of the rear of the vehicle without the need for mounting modifications.

The lid is intended for installation in the rear zone of the body, which facilitates the identification of the correct component when planning repairs after a collision or replacing a damaged trunk lid. For full compatibility verification, it is recommended to compare the body configuration and equipment with your specific vehicle.

Application in post-accident repairs

Using an original, used trunk lid with a window is often a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, as it allows for cost reduction compared to new components while maintaining the factory construction. In many cases, this enables:

• restoration of proper closing and sealing of the luggage compartment,
• maintenance of consistency with the styling line of the rear body,
• reduction of the scope of bodywork and painting tasks thanks to the matching shape and mounts.

For users planning a comprehensive reconstruction of the rear of the vehicle, it is important that the use of an original trunk lid promotes the maintenance of proper body geometry and the correct operation of the lock and seals.

Repair expansion and additional resources
