Purpose and function of the component

The right-side tailgate stopper is responsible for controlling the position of the rear lid in the BMW X5 E70. Its tasks include:

• damping the movement of the tailgate during closing,
• stabilizing the position in the rest state,
• protecting the body edges and the tailgate itself from excessive load,
• maintaining consistent gap lines between the tailgate and the body.

Thanks to a properly selected stopper, the tailgate operates smoothly, without unwanted play or rattling, which translates into convenience of using the trunk and reduces wear on other mounting components.

Compatibility with BMW X5 E70

The presented stopper has been designed specifically for the BMW X5 E70 model, taking into account the characteristic construction of the tailgate and hinges. The placement on the right side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the factory mounting system and proper cooperation with the left side of the tailgate.

Its original BMW origin means that the component maintains factory dimensional tolerances, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of leaks or improper closing. This is particularly important in the case of the heavy, split tailgate of the X5 E70.

Color and integration with the body

The stopper is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, which allows for an aesthetic match to bodywork in the same shade. As a result, after installation, the component does not visually stand out from the rest of the body, and the line of the rear part of the vehicle remains consistent.

Choosing the right color is not only important visually but also practically – it reduces the need for additional painting and speeds up the tailgate repair process.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered stopper is a used part, which allows for lower service costs while maintaining the original BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, tailgate geometry corrections, or replacing worn-out consumables in older X5 E70 models.

Choosing an original, used stopper is beneficial wherever compliance with the factory design is important, while maintaining a reasonable price-to-quality ratio.
