Purpose and Function of the Trunk Lid Hinge

The presented hinge is a structural element responsible for supporting and guiding the trunk lid on the right rear side of the body. Its tasks include:

• maintaining the correct pivot axis of the lid,
• ensuring repeatable, stress-free closing,
• stable cooperation with lifting actuators,
• limiting play and unwanted vibrations during driving.

By preserving the factory design, the hinge allows for the restoration of proper lid operation after a collision, corrosion, or wear of the previous part.

Original BMW Fitment and Replacement Numbers

The hinge comes from the BMW OE line, which means compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards in terms of geometry, durability, and mounting method. The part has a dedicated part number and associated replacement numbers, which facilitates the selection of the appropriate variant for a specific BMW F22/F23 body configuration.

Original origin translates to precise fitting with the trunk lid, body, and other hinge system components, without the need for modifications or adjustments to mounting holes.

Black Sapphire Metallic Color – Benefits for Paint Repairs

The factory Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is one of the popular shades used in BMW models, which is important for accident repairs and partial body renovations. Using a hinge already painted in this color can:

• limit the scope of painting work to minimal touch-ups,
• facilitate visual matching with the existing paint,
• speed up the assembly process and completion of the repair.

In many cases, this can reduce vehicle downtime and lower the overall repair cost.

Used Condition and Advantages of Choosing an Original Part

The part is offered in used condition, which for original BMW body parts often represents a sensible compromise between cost and quality. The hinge retains its factory construction, ensuring:

• appropriate rigidity of the lid-to-body connection,
• reduced risk of incorrect alignment of body gaps and lines,
• assembly that closely resembles the factory service process.

For many users and body shops, choosing a used, original hinge is more predictable than installing a replacement part with unknown manufacturing tolerances.

Part Selection and Additional Information

Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify the hinge's compatibility with the specific BMW F22/F23 body version, especially regarding the mounting side and trunk lid configuration. Manufacturer markings, part numbers, and replacement numbers assigned to the specific model are helpful for this.
