Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E90

The hinge is specifically designed for the front right bonnet of the BMW 3 Series E90. Its construction matches the manufacturer's original solution, allowing the part to integrate with original mounting points and the bonnet lifting mechanism without requiring modifications.

This precise fitment helps maintain proper gaps between the bonnet and fenders, as well as stable positioning of the engine cover during driving and when closing. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs where precise alignment and consistent hinge operation are crucial.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 Color

The part is finished in the Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, characteristic of many BMW E90 models. This allows the hinge to blend seamlessly with the bodywork in this shade, simplifying bodywork and painting tasks and reducing the need for auxiliary painting.

Selecting a hinge in the correct color is especially beneficial when the bonnet and surrounding body panels are also in A22 paint, helping to maintain a cohesive look for the engine bay and bonnet edges when opened.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The bonnet hinge operates on the right front side of the body, responsible for guiding and supporting the engine cover. The design, as intended by BMW, ensures:

• smooth and snag-free bonnet opening and closing,
• proper bonnet positioning after lifting,
• adequate rigidity of the connection to the body structure.

The part is designed for installation in place of the factory hinge, utilizing the original mounting points. With correct installation, it's possible to achieve proper bonnet gaps and pivot axis, contributing to user comfort and the vehicle's front-end aesthetics.

Condition and Service Application

This is a used part, making it an attractive solution for routine maintenance and post-accident repairs of the BMW 3 Series E90. It is suitable for replacing a damaged hinge as well as for reconstructing the front of the vehicle after a collision, where restoring proper bonnet function is necessary.

By maintaining the original hinge geometry, it's possible to effectively restore the body line and correct bonnet closure, which is important for both safety and the vehicle's resale value.
