Purpose and Vehicle Placement

The presented hinge is intended for installation in the rear part of the body, on the left side of the trunk lid. It is responsible for the smooth opening and closing of the lid and maintaining the correct geometry of the lid relative to the body. Thanks to the factory design, compatibility with the original mounting points in BMW F36 series models is maintained, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional modifications.

Color and Paint Matching

The element is made in the shade Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416, which allows for an aesthetic match with the body in the same color. The use of original metallic finish minimizes visual differences between the hinge and other body panels, which is particularly important in accident repairs and restoring the vehicle's factory appearance.
