Application and Function in BMW X5 F15

The presented actuator is a component of the electric tailgate lifting system in the BMW X5 F15, mounted on the left side of the vehicle.

Thanks to its construction compliant with BMW standards, the actuator maintains proper stroke, force, and operating speed parameters, which reduces strain on the hinges and lock, and also minimizes the risk of improper tailgate closure.

The part features dedicated mounting points for the body and tailgate, facilitating installation in place of a worn component without the need for modifications. This ensures full compatibility with the factory tailgate guidance system and other components from the Gas Springs, Locks, Hinges, and Other Parts group.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The offered actuator is used, making it an attractive service solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. Maintaining the factory BMW specifications promotes seamless integration with the vehicle's electronics, including the comfort closing function and potential remote control operation. The component is suitable for both typical replacement of a worn actuator and for repairs of the tailgate lifting system where maintaining original operating characteristics and compatibility with comfort systems is required.
