Intended Use and Function in the Vehicle

The presented lock operates in the rear part of the body, responsible for mechanically latching the trunk lid in BMW F22, F23, and F87 LCI vehicles. This component works with the factory opening and closing mechanism, keeping the lid in a stable position during driving and when stationary. Thanks to the preservation of original mounting geometry and strikers, the lock integrates with the body structure without requiring modifications.

Construction and Technical Properties

The trunk lock belongs to the Locks and Latches group, meaning it is designed to withstand the loads resulting from the lid's operation and the repetitive opening and closing cycle. The construction includes a housing with a latching mechanism and a contact point with the lid striker, enabling:

• secure latching of the lid after it is closed,
• cooperation with the factory opening system,
• maintaining the correct position of the lid relative to the body.

The original origin from the BMW group promotes proper rigidity and wear resistance, as well as compatibility with the vehicle's factory settings.

Installation and Fitment

The lock is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the location of the factory trunk lid mounting. Thanks to its original design, the part allows for:

• installation in existing mounting points,
• cooperation with the factory lid striker and hinges,
• maintaining correct clearances and gaps between the lid and the body.

This precise fitment minimizes the need for additional adjustments and facilitates the restoration of proper trunk opening and closing mechanism operation after a collision, wear, or replacement of rear body components.

Usage Characteristics

As a used part, the BMW F22 F23 F87 LCI trunk lock is a practical solution for accident repairs or operational servicing. It allows for the restoration of:

• efficient trunk lid latching,
• correct cooperation with the vehicle's systems,
• comfort in daily trunk usage.

By retaining the factory design, the part aligns with the safety and functionality standards set by the vehicle manufacturer, which is important for both daily operation and future resale of the car.
