Hinge Purpose and Function

The presented right trunk lid hinge has been designed specifically for BMW F13 series models, allowing for the maintenance of the correct lid pivot axis and proper trunk closure. The component is responsible for:

• stable lid guidance during opening and closing,
• maintaining the correct lid position relative to the fenders and bumper,
• reducing stress within the lid panel and mountings.

Thanks to its factory design, the hinge works with original mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper body part alignment.

Color and Body Fitment

The hinge is finished in the color Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416, which allows for consistency with the factory body paint in this shade. In practice, this means it can be installed without immediate repainting, especially when quick restoration of full trunk lid functionality is crucial.

The original surface finish helps maintain the aesthetics of the vehicle's rear section and facilitates any further bodywork and painting if the user decides on a full body renovation.

Mounting Characteristics

As a part from the Trunk Lids & Rear group, the right hinge is structurally prepared to work with the factory trunk lid of the BMW F13. The arrangement of mounting holes and the geometry of the hinge arm are adapted to the standard mounting points in the body, allowing for:

• precise alignment of gaps between the lid and adjacent components,
• proper operation of the opening and closing mechanism,
• maintenance of appropriate connection rigidity.

The used nature of the part allows for an economical repair of the rear body section while preserving the original BMW construction.

• factory fitment to the body and trunk lid structure,
• maintenance of the correct rear vehicle geometry,
• color consistency with Carbonschwarz Metallic paint,
• the possibility of using existing mounting points without modifications.

This makes the part a functional solution for accident repairs, replacement of worn hinges, or restoring the full functionality of the trunk opening mechanism.
