Purpose and Function of the Rear Tailgate Hinge

The presented hinge is dedicated to the right side of the rear tailgate in BMW 1 Series models of the E81, E84, and E87 generations. It is responsible for precise guidance of the tailgate during opening and closing, maintaining its correct position, and evenly distributing loads onto the body structure. This mechanism reduces stress on the panel and seals, contributing to the trunk's airtightness and proper lock operation.

Mounting Parameters and Fitment

The hinge is designed as a component compliant with factory BMW standards, ensuring proper fitment with the tailgate and the mounting point in the car body. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle eliminates the risk of errors in part selection and simplifies service planning. The construction is intended for use with original tailgate mountings and actuators, making installation a structured and predictable process.

Paint Finish and Visual Aspect

The part is finished in the shade Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22, allowing for an aesthetic match with bodywork in the same paint code. For vehicles in this color, the hinge can be used without the need for full repainting, possibly only requiring minor finish correction, which reduces repair time and the scope of body and paint work. For other body colors, it serves as a solid base for repainting, preserving the proper substrate structure.

Characteristics of the Used Part

As a used part, the BMW 1 E81 E84 E87 Rear Tailgate Hinge Right offers an economical solution for accident repairs or operational replacements. Its original origin helps maintain the hinge's factory geometry, which is important for the correct alignment of the tailgate with the fenders, bumper, and rear lights. This type of part is particularly useful when replacing a damaged hinge that causes the tailgate to sag, uneven gaps, or difficulty in closing.

Benefits of Using an Original Hinge

Using an original rear tailgate hinge in the BMW 1 Series maintains the body's structural integrity and predictable tailgate behavior during daily use. Proper fitment to the vehicle model and side reduces the need for modifications, and compliance with factory mounting points facilitates quick installation in workshop conditions. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where both functionality and the preservation of the original body line are important.
