Purpose and function of the trunk lock

The presented lock is a component mounted in the rear body zone, responsible for the mechanical locking of the trunk lid. Its tasks include:

• keeping the lid in a stable, closed position while driving,
• cooperating with the opening and closing mechanism,
• ensuring proper pressure of the lid against the seals, which reduces noise and vibrations.

Thanks to a design consistent with BMW factory standards, the lock works with the original hinges, actuators, and other elements of the rear lid, which facilitates installation and subsequent operation.

Construction and fitment for BMW F36 Gran Coupe and X3 F25

The lock has been designed specifically for the BMW F36 Gran Coupe and BMW X3 F25 models, which translates into proper positioning relative to the lid and body. The appropriate geometry of the mounts and the shape of the housing allow for:

• seamless fitment with factory mounting holes,
• proper guidance of the bolt and catch,
• correct cooperation with the factory trunk opening mechanism.

The original BMW OE origin means that the component was manufactured according to the manufacturer's specifications, which helps maintain factory mounting clearances and proper lid operation in the long term.

Condition, service application, and benefits of installation

The offered trunk lock is a used component, which makes it an attractive service solution in the event of damage to the factory lock or problems with closing the lid. Replacing this component is particularly justified when there are:

• difficulties with locking or unlocking the trunk,
• play in the lock mechanism,
• improper closing of the lid, resulting in noise or error messages.

Installing an original lock from the same design group allows you to restore the proper operation of the rear lid without the need for body modifications or additional adjustment of elements.

Why choose a lock from the BMW Locks and latches category

Elements from the Locks and latches group are responsible not only for the comfort of using the trunk but also for the safety of the transported cargo. Choosing an original lock dedicated to the BMW F36 Gran Coupe and X3 F25 means:

• maintaining compliance with the factory body structure,
• proper cooperation with other elements of the tailgate,
• reducing the risk of leaks and unwanted noises while driving.

This is a particularly beneficial solution for post-accident repairs, replacing worn-out mechanisms, or restoring full functionality to the rear of the vehicle after long-term use.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the rear body area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as locking mechanisms, catches, or tailgate actuators, check the available parts in the BMW Locks and latches category.
