Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 E46 Touring

The offered trunk lid is dedicated to the Touring version of the BMW 3 Series E46 generation, designed for the rear of the vehicle. Thanks to a construction compliant with BMW factory standards, the correct mounting points, hinge geometry, and workspace for the lock and accessories are maintained, which facilitates installation in place of a damaged component.

This body component in this configuration is suitable for both post-collision repairs and replacing a corroded or deformed lid. Its original BMW origin promotes proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and glass, minimizing the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Oxfordgruen Metallic color – 430

The lid is factory-painted in the Oxfordgruen Metallic – 430 shade, characteristic of many BMW E46 units. For owners of vehicles in the same color, this means the possibility of reducing or completely skipping a full repaint, which shortens repair time and lowers service costs.

The metallic Oxford Green paint ensures a consistent, elegant look for the rear of the body, and with proper shade matching on adjacent elements, it allows for an aesthetic result after repair. This is a particularly beneficial solution for restoring daily-driven cars as well as for projects aimed at maintaining the original look of the BMW 3 E46 Touring.

Characteristics of the used component

The trunk lid comes from dismantling and is offered as a used body part. Such parts are frequently chosen for repairs where the priority is combining reasonable costs with maintaining the original BMW body structure. A used lid allows for restoring the factory rigidity of the rear body section without the need to use aftermarket replacements with uncertain fitment.

Before installation, standard bodywork verification and surface preparation according to workshop procedures are recommended – especially regarding seals, accessory mounts, and potential paint matching to the remaining body panels.

Benefits of using an original trunk lid

• Factory geometry and mounting points matched to the BMW 3 E46 Touring.
• Metallic Oxfordgruen – 430 paint, allowing for a reduction in paintwork.
• Restoration of the correct rear body line after a collision or corrosion.
• Possibility of using existing accessories (glass, lock, wiring harness – depending on vehicle configuration).
• A reasonable compromise between repair cost and maintaining the original BMW construction.
