Detailed Description

Dorman 937-866 is a trunk lock actuator motor engineered for BMW trunk lid and compartment applications where the original actuator no longer operates correctly. It is built with metal and plastic materials, uses an electric activation design, and features blade terminals for factory-style connection. This part cross-references Genuine 51247840617 for the same application. It is a practical OE-style replacement for BMW 328i, BMW 335i, BMW M3, and other listed models when the trunk latch needs renewed actuation. The Dorman 937-866 helps restore the electrical movement needed for normal trunk release and locking function.

What It Helps Fix

  • Trunk latch that does not release or lock properly
  • Intermittent or failed electric trunk actuator operation
