Purpose and function of the component

The integrated release button allows for convenient unlocking of the tailgate directly from outside the vehicle, improving the ergonomics of daily car use. Thanks to its factory design, the component works with the original locking mechanism and the vehicle's electrical system, allowing for the maintenance of the standard functionality and aesthetics characteristic of the BMW F20/F21 LCI.

Benefits of using an original emblem

Using an original emblem with a tailgate release button helps maintain a consistent look for the rear of the vehicle and ensures the proper operation of the opening mechanism. This is particularly important during post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged badge, or restoring the car to its factory specification.

• Factory fitment for the tailgate in BMW F20/F21 LCI.
• Integration of decorative function with utility function (release button).
• Visual consistency with other BMW body components.
• Ability to restore proper operation of the rear lock after damage to the previous component.

Installation characteristics of the rear emblem

The emblem with the button is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the factory opening of the tailgate. The manufacturer's design facilitates correct seating of the component and connection to the existing wiring, which limits the need for additional modifications. When replacing, it is recommended to follow BMW service procedures, including careful removal of the old component, inspection of the electrical harness, and proper sealing of the mounting area to protect the interior of the tailgate from moisture.

Product condition and service application

The component comes from disassembly, making it an attractive service solution for users looking for original parts at a reasonable price. This type of part is particularly useful for:

• repairs after collisions involving the rear of the vehicle,
• replacing a damaged or non-functional tailgate release button,
• visual renovation of the vehicle when the existing emblem is worn out.
