The BMW Genuine Parts 51478120281 is a genuine lock component designed to secure trunk trim panels within various BMW models. Constructed from SCHWARZ material, this part was first utilized in production vehicles beginning September 1, 1990. This lock is specifically engineered for the BMW 3 Series E36 M3, fitting within the trunk trim panel assembly. To ensure proper fitment, it is essential to verify that your vehicle matches the specific chassis and production window for which this part was designed. The catalog indicates its use in the 3 Series E36 (11/1989–10/1999), 5 Series E34 (11/1990–06/1996), 5 Series E39 (05/1996–12/2003), 5 Series F11 LCI (08/2012–02/2017), and Z4 E85 (01/2002–08/2008) models.
