Adjust/lower trunk lid, gap?

Philly_sweden · 01-31-2013, 04:17 AM

Hi.

I'm very picky about my car and have compared it to many others

It seems that I might have a small gap on the trunk lid, do you know if I can adjust it?

Nothing have been done to the car before, maby the co-workers at BMW just had a bad day?

How it is today

What I want it to look like

These are screwed done to the bottom

Is there any other way to adjust the trunk without touching the hinges?

Are there more bumper stops on top of the trunk?

Thanks!

/Filip

Looking at your photos I can't see the difference. Maybe it looks different because of the paint color(silver shows a smaller gap)?

No, our cars are not known for having the best body panel alignment. They are parts bin cars after all.

My biggest OCD complaint is the alignment of our rear quarters.

My old z4 3.0i had that same gap, bees loved to hide in there

Current Z still has a gap but it isn't as big. I agree that the panel gaps on Z's aren't very good.

Two in the trunk top.
