Vehicle Application and Function

The tailgate boot lid closer motor is responsible for the controlled closing of the rear tailgate after it has been partially closed, without requiring excessive force. This component operates in the rear section of the body, within the boot lid area, working in conjunction with the vehicle's lock and control system.

This solution:

• stabilizes the tailgate's position when closed,
• reduces the risk of the tailgate not closing properly and related dashboard warnings,
• contributes to the sealing of the rear body section, which helps to reduce noise and prevent the ingress of dirt.

Construction and Fitment for BMW 3 Series Touring

The offered closer motor is a factory solution specifically designed for the BMW F31 and F31N LCI Touring body styles, ensuring a precise fit for the rear tailgate's construction. Original mounting geometry and pre-prepared connection points allow for installation in place of a worn-out part without the need for modifications.

Key installation features:

• operation in the rear zone of the vehicle, within the boot lid area,
• compatibility with the original BMW lock and wiring harness,
• maintaining the manufacturer-specified operating range of the closing mechanism.

Condition, Origin, and Application

This part is from a BMW vehicle and is classified as a used original component. This ensures you retain the operating characteristics intended by the vehicle manufacturer, which is important for its interaction with the body's electronics and comfort systems. This type of closer motor is suitable for both a standard replacement of a worn-out mechanism and for restoring full functionality to the tailgate after bodywork and paint repairs.

Its location at the rear of the vehicle facilitates diagnostics and servicing – mechanics have direct access to the lock and closer assembly after removing the appropriate internal tailgate trim panels.

Benefits of Using an Original Closer Motor

Using a dedicated tailgate boot lid closer motor in the BMW F31/F31N LCI offers a range of practical benefits:

• Vehicle System Compatibility – ensures proper interaction with control modules and body sensors.
• Consistent Mechanism Operation – predictable tailgate closing, minimizing the need for adjustments.
• Integration with Rear Body Structure – no interference with original mountings or wiring.
• Enhanced User Comfort – convenient boot closing for everyday use.
