Purpose and Technical Function

The presented lower bolt is dedicated to the BMW i3 I01 model and operates in the rear right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for securely locking the trunk lid in the closed position, contributing to the guidance and latching system. A correctly selected element of this type limits unwanted play, squeaks, and the risk of the lid not closing properly, which translates to user comfort and correct seal operation.

Construction and Mounting Fit

The bolt is structurally designed for installation in factory mounting points, without the need for modifications or adaptations. The appropriately shaped working surface interacts with the trunk lid lock, ensuring repeatable guidance during closing. The use of an original solution allows for maintaining the correct closing geometry and alignment with the body line.

Application in the Body System

As an element from the Doors and Door Panels group, the trunk lid's lower bolt affects:

• maintaining the stable closed position of the lid in the rear of the vehicle,
• interaction with seals and limiting the ingress of dirt into the luggage compartment,
• reduction of vibrations and noise originating from the rear body zone,
• correct operation of the lock mechanism and closing sensors (if present in the vehicle).

Its placement on the right rear side of the vehicle facilitates identification of the correct mounting point during service or replacement.

Characteristics of the Used Component

The offered bolt is a used part, classified as used part, allowing for an economical repair while maintaining the original BMW construction. This type of component is particularly useful for mechanical damage to the lid, rear body collisions, or wear and tear of the latching elements.

Compatibility and Identification
