Application and Function in BMW E60

The presented hinge is a component of the tailgate mounting system on the right side of the BMW 5 Series E60 body. It is responsible for the stable guidance of the tailgate, its proper opening geometry, and the even distribution of loads during the operation of actuators and the lock. A correctly selected hinge reduces stress on the body panel, minimizes the risk of paint cracks, and improves the comfort of daily use.

Original Design and Fitment

As a component from the Tailgate and Rear Parts group dedicated to BMW, this hinge has been designed for specific mounting points on the E60 body. This means:

• factory-set mounting hole spacing,
• maintenance of the correct tailgate pivot axis,
• compatibility with original screws and hardware.

Such precise fitment facilitates installation, allows for maintaining factory gaps between the tailgate and fenders, and supports the proper functioning of seals and the lock.

Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 Color

The hinge is factory-painted in the Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 (Deep Sea Blue) shade, used in BMW's color palette. For the user, this means it can be installed without the need for immediate repainting of the entire part, which is particularly beneficial for accident repairs or spot replacement of tailgate hardware. Maintaining the original color helps preserve the visual consistency of the rear bodywork and reduces the cost of additional painting work.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered hinge is a used part, sourced from disassembly, which practically allows for combining an attractive price with the preservation of original BMW specifications. Such components are often chosen for maintenance and accident repairs when conformity with the factory design and the possibility of quick replacement without body modifications are priorities.

• the condition of the body mountings and any signs of corrosion,
• the correct alignment of the tailgate relative to the fenders and bumper,
• the operation of the actuators and lock after installing the new part.
