Purpose and fitment for the BMW X1 F48

The offered tailgate is designed specifically for the BMW X1 F48 body, taking into account the geometry of the rear bodywork and factory mounting points. This ensures proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and roofline, as well as correct gap geometry, which is important for both aesthetics and the sealing of the body.

The component belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, meaning it is structurally prepared to work with factory hinges, actuators, and other rear body components intended for this model.

Characteristics of the Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 paint

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 finish is a characteristic metallic black shade used as standard in many BMW models. Metallic paint provides color depth and uniform light dispersion, which improves the visual perception of the entire rear section of the vehicle. In practice, this makes color matching easier during body and paint repairs, limiting the scope of any necessary blending of adjacent elements.

For workshops and paint shops, it is important that the shade used belongs to the manufacturer's standard palette, which facilitates the selection of paint materials and quality control of the coating after installation.

Structural function and role in the body structure

The tailgate in the BMW X1 F48 serves both a functional and structural role. It is responsible for:

• closing the cargo space and providing access to the trunk,
• working with the rear body seals to protect against water and contaminants,
• properly transferring loads resulting from the operation of hinges and actuators,
• maintaining the correct geometry of the rear body zone as specified by the manufacturer.

By maintaining the factory design of the tailgate, it is possible to reuse original hardware components, provided their condition allows it, which translates into a more economical vehicle repair.

Used condition and economic benefits

The presented tailgate is a used component, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to purchasing a new part. For BMW X1 F48 users, this means the possibility of restoring full functionality to the rear of the body while maintaining a reasonable service budget.

A properly selected, original used tailgate reduces the need for additional installation modifications, which shortens workshop labor time and reduces the risk of problems with fitting the component to the body.
