Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented part is designed for installation in the rear of the car, in the tailgate area. It serves both as a decorative logo and a lock/handle, which allows for maintaining the factory look of the body while ensuring full functionality of the tailgate opening.

Thanks to a design consistent with the solutions used by the manufacturer, this part works well with the factory tailgate mechanism, facilitating daily vehicle operation and reducing the risk of problems with closing or opening the trunk.

Construction and technical features

The logo integrated with the lock and handle has been developed as a component dedicated to specific BMW models, which translates into a perfect fit of the shape, mounting points, and the way the mechanism operates. This solution allows for:

• maintaining a consistent stylistic line of the rear body,
• proper force transmission when opening the tailgate,
• reducing play and unwanted vibrations within the lock area.

The placement in the rear zone of the vehicle requires the element to be resistant to typical operational loads, such as frequent opening of the trunk or exposure to external factors. The construction of this component has been prepared with such use in mind.

Condition, origin, and benefits of use

The offered component is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the mechanism while optimizing repair costs. Choosing an original part from the secondary market is a solution that often ensures a better fit than replacements of unknown origin.

Key benefits of using this type of component include:

• factory fit with the tailgate – no need for mounting modifications,
• maintaining the original BMW logo styling on the rear of the body,
• the ability to restore the correct operation of the tailgate opening mechanism after the previous part has been damaged.

Selection and compatibility

To correctly select this part for a specific vehicle, it is worth verifying compatibility with service documentation or part numbers assigned to the given model. The product has assigned interchangeable numbers, which facilitates matching to different equipment versions within the same model line.

In case of doubts during selection, it is helpful to compare the construction of the currently installed part with the offered component – especially in terms of shape, mounting method, and the arrangement of points interacting with the tailgate mechanism.
