Part Purpose and Function

The presented right tailgate hinge is dedicated to BMW 5 Series F10 models and is responsible for the precise guidance and stable support of the rear lid. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle ensures proper cooperation with the left hinge, which translates to even load distribution and correct tailgate closing.

This part belongs to the Tailgates and Rear Lids group, meaning it is an integral part of the rear body section, influencing both the comfort of using the trunk and the vehicle's operational safety.

Paint Color and Matching

The hinge is factory painted in the Titansilber Metallic – 354 color, characteristic of many BMW F10 models. This allows for reduced or completely eliminated additional painting work when replacing a hinge on a car with the same paint code, maintaining visual consistency of the rear body.

The original paint shade also facilitates part matching in case of accident repairs, where maintaining a uniform color and coating structure at the junction of the tailgate, fenders, and rear bumper is crucial.

Mounting Characteristics

The BMW F10 right tailgate hinge is designed as a structural element that works with the factory mounting points in the body and the tailgate itself. Its appropriate geometry and mounting spacing allow for installation in place of the original hinge without the need for modifications.

Precise fitting to the BMW body helps maintain proper gaps between the tailgate and adjacent elements, which is important for both aesthetics and the sealing of the rear part of the vehicle.

Condition and Application in Repairs

This part is a used item and is offered as a used BMW tailgate hinge. This type of part is particularly suitable for accident repairs, replacing a damaged hinge after a rear-end collision, or for correcting tailgate operation when the original mounting has suffered mechanical damage.

Choosing an original, used hinge allows for the preservation of the tailgate's factory construction, which is important for precise setting of its position, actuator operation, and trunk lock.
