Resolve the 17-character VIN, production date, exact body family and installed hood appearance before ordering.

Exclude E36, E46 Compact, 2006-up E90-family sedans, non-US/RHD assumptions, aftermarket carbon/fiberglass panels, unsupported M3 or facelift appearance conversions and vehicles with unmeasured hinge, latch, upper tie-bar, fender or headlamp-support collision damage.

Resolve the recipient 17-character VIN, production month, Sedan body, installed shell identity, paint code, factory or added lip-spoiler evidence and exact bare-versus-loaded contents before ordering. The checked BMW catalog does not establish a pre-facelift-versus-facelift trunk-shell split: later service lid 41627003314 is listed across the checked US Sedan years and formally supersedes very-early-production lid 41628238462. Exclude Sport Wagon tailgates, Coupe, Convertible, M3, Compact, E36, non-US/RHD assumptions, aftermarket composite lids presented as factory interchange and vehicles with unmeasured rear body, hinge-mount, quarter-panel or latch-support damage.
