Intended Use and Function of the Part
The presented part serves as a structural shock mount within the right side of the trunk, ensuring proper transfer of loads from the suspension to the body. The appropriate shaping and factory mounting points guarantee the preservation of suspension geometry and correct interaction with other components of the rear axle.
Its placement on the right side of the vehicle is crucial for part selection – the construction and shape are tailored to the specific side of the body, which facilitates installation and eliminates the need for modifications.
Original Origin and Fitment
The part comes from the BMW OE line, meaning it adheres to factory dimensional and material standards. This ensures the part fits factory mounting points, and installation proceeds predictably for service centers or body shops.
The original shock mount ensures:
- consistency with the factory body structure,
- proper support and guidance of the shock absorber,
- stable suspension operation during daily use.
Black Sapphire Metallic 475 Color
The part is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, characteristic of many BMW F series configurations. For owners with a car in this shade, this means the possibility of limiting painting to potential spot repairs or matching the coating to the current condition of the body.
The metallic black effectively masks minor shade differences, which is beneficial when installing a used part on an already operational vehicle.
Condition and Benefits of Choosing Used OEM
The product is used, allowing for the combination of original origin with a more attractive repair cost compared to new components. For many post-accident repairs or restorations, this choice is a sensible compromise between quality and service budget.
