The handle construction has been developed for factory mounting points in the rear body section of the BMW, allowing for installation without the need for body modifications.

As a result, the original body line and proper fitment with other tailgate elements are maintained after installation.

As a component mounted at the rear of the vehicle, the handle with emblem operates under conditions exposed to variable temperatures, moisture, and dirt. The applied construction is prepared for such use, which translates into stable operation of the tailgate opening mechanism in daily use. The handle allows for convenient operation of the tailgate, and the emblem serves an aesthetic function, highlighting the vehicle's affiliation with the BMW brand.

Condition and service application

Choosing an original handle with an emblem allows you to maintain visual consistency with other body elements and reduce the risk of fitment issues.
