Actuator Purpose and Function

The telescopic tailgate actuator in the BMW i3 I01 is responsible for the controlled opening and holding of the tailgate in the upper position. This component works with the hinges and lock, forming a complete system responsible for safe access to the luggage compartment.

The placement on the vehicle specified as rear means the component is designed to operate in the trunk area, taking into account the specific weight distribution and tailgate kinematics of the i3 I01 model. This ensures proper lifting force and smooth movement without excessive strain on the mountings.

Benefits of Using an Original Actuator

Using an actuator dedicated to the BMW i3 I01 allows for maintaining the structural integrity of the body and predictable tailgate behavior. In practice, this means:

• correct opening and closing characteristics of the tailgate,
• appropriately selected support force, matched to the tailgate's weight,
• retention of factory mounting points without modifications,
• reduction of the risk of overloading hinges and the lock.

A used part from this group allows for economical repair while maintaining the original installation specification, which is particularly important for vehicles with unusual body structures like the BMW i3.

Mounting Characteristics

The telescopic tailgate actuator belongs to the Tailgate and Rear category, meaning it is intended for use with body components in the rear of the vehicle. The gas strut design allows for relatively quick disassembly and assembly by an experienced mechanic or a BMW specialist service.

During replacement, it is important to maintain the correct mounting orientation and check the condition of the mounting sockets in the tailgate and body. A correctly selected actuator reduces the risk of the tailgate dropping, which contributes to user safety during loading and unloading of luggage.

Application of a Used OEM Part

Choosing a used telescopic actuator for the BMW i3 I01 is a solution that combines controlled repair costs with the preservation of original operating parameters. This type of part is designed for a specific model, so it does not require adaptation or modification of the tailgate system.
