Purpose and fitment for the BMW X3 E83

The offered trunk lid has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW X3 E83 generation. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of the original component without the need for structural modifications. Thanks to the preservation of the correct body geometry, it is possible to properly align the gaps, close the trunk, and ensure compatibility with other components of the vehicle's rear section.

Technical characteristics and color

The lid belongs to the Tailgates category, meaning it serves as the closure for the luggage compartment and a load-bearing element for the rear body equipment. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures compatibility with factory hinges, the lock, and the equipment installation provided for this model.

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 finish allows for an aesthetic match to a body in the same shade, limiting the scope of any potential paint work. The metallic paint coating is properly prepared for further processing if there is a need for correction or full repainting during the vehicle restoration process.

Condition of the component and application in repairs

The trunk lid is a used component, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-functionality ratio while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• restoring the geometry and tightness of the luggage compartment,
• restoration projects for BMW X3 E83 vehicles,
• replacing corroded or mechanically damaged lids.

Using an original lid from the same model generation promotes the maintenance of proper body rigidity and correct interaction with seals and mounting elements.
