Purpose and Fitment for BMW F10

The presented trunk lid has been specifically designed for the rear of the BMW 5 Series F10 body, ensuring precise alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and lighting. The original mounting geometry simplifies installation and allows for the preservation of factory gaps between body panels.

By utilizing the original body construction, the lid is compatible with factory hinges, gas struts, and the lock mechanism, minimizing the need for additional modifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs where maintaining the original rigidity and geometry of the vehicle's rear end is crucial.

Color and Paint Finish

The part is factory painted in the Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 shade, which is among the popular, elegant colors used on the BMW F10. The metallic paint finish harmonizes well with the body lines, emphasizing the character of a premium-class car.

The factory paint offers both aesthetic and economic advantages – in many cases, it allows for the scope of painting work to be limited to potential touch-ups, which reduces repair time and facilitates shade matching with the rest of the bodywork.

Condition and Application in Repairs

The trunk lid is a used part, making it an attractive solution for repairs where a reasonable budget is a priority while maintaining original BMW quality. This type of part is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing a worn or corroded body panel.

By retaining its original construction, installation can be carried out using standard body and paint techniques, without the need for modifying the body structure. This is important from the perspective of safety, body rigidity, and subsequent vehicle resale value.
