Technical specifications and fitment

The offered rear window is intended for installation in the rear body section of the BMW 5 Series E61 Touring, replacing the factory tailgate glass. The construction of the glass panel complies with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements, which allows for maintaining proper body rigidity and correct interaction with seals, hinges, and the tailgate opening mechanism.

The AS3 type tinted glass in a black shade ensures effective reduction of light and solar radiation penetration into the interior, which translates into more stable thermal conditions in the cabin and less load on the air conditioning system. At the same time, adequate transparency and clarity of the field of view in the rearview mirror are maintained, in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Vehicle function and installation benefits

The rear window in the Touring version performs an important structural and functional role – it is responsible for proper illumination of the luggage compartment, rear visibility, and tailgate tightness. Replacing damaged or dull glass with an original glass panel allows you to:

• restore proper rear visibility and improve maneuvering safety,
• maintain a consistent appearance of the rear body section with the other windows,
• maintain proper tightness and protection against water and contaminants,
• maintain thermal comfort thanks to tinting and solar radiation filtering.

For users who value original BMW solutions, using a factory glass panel is also beneficial in terms of the vehicle's future resale value – the visual and technical consistency of the rear body section is preserved.

Item condition and practical application

The offered rear window is a used item, which allows you to combine reasonable repair costs with maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. For many BMW E61 Touring users, this is an effective solution in the event of cracking, shattering, or severe scratching of the factory window, without the need to resort to replacements with uncertain parameters.

During installation, it is recommended to use appropriate sealing materials and have the work performed by a workshop experienced in replacing windows in estate bodies. A properly installed glass panel ensures stable seating in the tailgate frame, no stress in the glass, and proper interaction with the wiper and other equipment elements, if provided in the given vehicle configuration.

Compatibility and BMW Car Windows group

The BMW E61 Rear Window Glass Touring Estate Tinted Window Panel Black AS3 belongs to the Car Windows group, which includes elements responsible for the vehicle's visibility, tightness, and acoustic comfort. Replacing damaged glass with an original glass panel is particularly important in cars used daily, where both safety and the aesthetics of the rear body section count.

Why choose a used OEM window

Choosing a used, original glass panel is a solution that allows you to maintain the vehicle's factory parameters while reducing costs. The original window is designed for a specific BMW model, thanks to which its shape, thickness, and mounting method are matched to the construction of the tailgate in the Touring version.
