Purpose and fitment

The presented trunk lid has been designed specifically for the rear of the BMW 3 Series E90 generation after the facelift (LCI). The OEM construction guarantees proper geometry, correct body line alignment, and compatibility with factory mounting points for hinges, locks, and accessories. As a result, the component maintains factory panel gaps after installation and does not require any modifications to the body structure.

Color and Black Sapphire Metallic finish

The trunk lid is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, which is characteristic of many BMW configurations. The metallic paint coating allows for:

• maintaining visual consistency with the original body paint,
• reducing the scope of paintwork required when replacing the component,
• easier shade matching in case of local touch-ups.

For users who want to maintain the factory character of the car, using a trunk lid in the same paint code is a practical and technically sound solution.

Technical characteristics and installation

The trunk lid belongs to the Trunk lids and rear parts group, meaning it is a key element that closes the cargo space and forms the rear part of the body. The design intended for installation in the rear area of the vehicle ensures:

• proper force distribution when opening and closing the trunk,
• the ability to transfer factory accessories (lock, actuators, wiring harness – depending on the car's configuration),
• maintenance of the proper rigidity of the rear body section.

As a used component, it allows for an economical vehicle repair after a collision or mechanical damage, while maintaining the original BMW construction specifications.

Benefits of using an original BMW trunk lid

Using an original trunk lid for the BMW E90 LCI offers a number of practical benefits:

• Factory fitment – maintaining body lines, gaps, and mounting points consistent with the manufacturer's design.
• Visual consistency – the Black Sapphire Metallic paint makes it easier to achieve a uniform look for the entire rear of the vehicle.
• Hassle-free installation – no need for structural modifications, which reduces the time required for body and paint shop work.
• Reasonable repair cost – a used component helps lower the cost of restoring the car to full functionality while maintaining original quality.
