Purpose and function of the component

The rear right bumper corner trim is responsible for finishing the side section of the bumper in the rear zone, ensuring a seamless transition between the bumper and the bodywork. This component:

• masks the structural edges of the bumper and body,
• stabilizes the side line in the lower part of the vehicle,
• protects the critical corner area against minor mechanical damage. Thanks to the factory profile, the corner trim maintains the proper geometry of the rear of the vehicle, which is important both visually and for assembly when fitting adjacent panels.

Color and paint matching Spacegrau Metallic A52

The component is finished in Spacegrau Metallic A52, characteristic of many BMW X5 E70 units. This means that with a properly maintained vehicle paint condition, it is possible to reduce or completely eliminate the need for additional painting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency with the factory body finish, and the correct shade makes it easier to achieve a uniform surface in the rear bumper area without visible tonal differences.

Placement on the vehicle and assembly aspects

The corner trim is designed for installation in the rear, right part of the vehicle, in the lower body zone. The design of the component is prepared to work with the factory BMW X5 E70 bumper, which enables:

• retention of original mounting points,
• proper fitment with adjacent panels,
• maintenance of the factory bumper line in the corner area. Such fitment limits the need for additional modifications and allows for repairs to be carried out using standard bodywork and paint procedures.

Characteristics of the used OEM component

The offered corner trim is a used part, sourced from the dismantling of an original BMW vehicle. In practice, this means maintaining factory geometry, material compatibility, and compatibility with other body components. A used OEM component is a beneficial solution in situations where the following are important:

• precise fitment for a specific model and year,
• visual consistency with other bumper elements,
• reduction of repair costs while maintaining original specifications. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard verification of the surface condition and mounting points, in accordance with procedures used when installing dismantled body components.
