What this part does
The liftgate motor, commonly referred to as a spindle drive, is an electromechanical actuator that automatically opens and closes the trunk lid. It is mounted inside the trunk compartment, connecting the vehicle body to the trunk hinge assembly. The motor uses an internal threaded spindle to extend and retract smoothly under the command of the vehicle's tailgate control module. When this part fails, the automatic trunk function usually stops working, the mechanism may emit grinding noises, or the trunk lid may fail to stay open, requiring you to operate the heavy lid manually.

Before you order
Confirm whether you are replacing the driver (left) or passenger (right) side motor, as spindle drives on this generation of BMW are side-specific and cannot be interchanged. After installation, the automatic tailgate system must be initialized using a capable diagnostic scanner so the control module can learn the new upper and lower end stops for safe operation.
