Original BMW Rear Function Module Control Unit for BMW 5 Series, 5 Series GT, 7 Series, X3, and X4 (2009–2018)

Original BMW part 61-35-7-394-649 is the control unit for the rear function module, the electronic module that runs the liftgate lift on 2009–2018 BMW 5 Series, 5 Series GT, 7 Series, X3, and X4 models. Like other body control units, it takes commands from switches and the car's electrical network and drives the hardware it manages. BMW groups it with the tailgate modules and relays. The same unit covers a wide spread of F-generation engines, from the N20 in the 528i, X3, and X4 to the N54, N55, N57, N63, and N63N, the N74 in the 760Li, and the S63N in the M5.

Body style and drivetrain do not change the part. The 5 Series sedan and 5 Series GT, the standard and long-wheelbase 7 Series, the ActiveHybrid 5 and ActiveHybrid 7, and the Alpina B7 and B7L all take this number, in both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive form. BMW's parts data places it on the F07 5 Series GT, F10 5 Series sedan, F01 and F02 7 Series, F04 ActiveHybrid 7, F25 X3, and F26 X4. Gas and diesel versions of the 535 share it, as do the long-wheelbase 740Ld xDrive and the 760Li.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.
