Purpose and Technical Function

The trunk lid hinge is responsible for the precise guidance and stable support of the rear trunk lid during opening and closing. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle ensures proper force distribution within the hinge system, leading to uniform operation of the entire lid and reducing the risk of it becoming misaligned.

This part has been specifically designed for the BMW F01 body, ensuring it maintains the factory opening line, correct pivot angle, and compatibility with original mounting points. This design facilitates installation and allows for the preservation of the trunk lid's original performance parameters.

Color and Body Matching

The finish in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 allows for an aesthetic match with the bodywork of the same color, reducing or eliminating the need for additional painting. This is a particularly beneficial solution for accident repairs and for replacing individual hinge components on vehicles with factory metallic paint.

By maintaining the original color specification, the hinge blends well with the lines of the trunk lid and fenders, helping to preserve the cohesive appearance of the vehicle's rear end and improving the overall aesthetics of the bodywork after repair.

Mounting Characteristics

The hinge is designed for installation on the right side of the vehicle, at the factory mounting points of the trunk lid. The construction, in line with BMW solutions, simplifies servicing and allows for the application of standard installation procedures used on the F01 body.

When installed correctly, the hinge ensures:

• stable lid guidance throughout its full range of motion,
• proper alignment of the lid edges with body elements,
• correct closing without excessive stress on the sheet metal structure.

Condition and Service Application

The part is in used condition, making it a practical choice for economical repairs where maintaining functionality and compliance with the original BMW design is a priority. This type of part is well-suited for replacing a damaged hinge after a collision or for restoring the rear section of the bodywork.

By preserving the factory geometry, the hinge can be used in both bodywork repairs and for precise adjustment of the trunk lid after replacing other components of the vehicle's rear end.

Compatibility and Parts Selection

As an original BMW part, the hinge complies with the factory quality and construction standards used in the F01 series. It has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which simplifies compatibility verification in service catalogs and parts selection systems, without the need for using aftermarket parts of uncertain specifications.
