Purpose and fitment

The presented trunk lid is designed as a component mounted in the rear area of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory body geometry of the BMW E91. This ensures the preservation of correct mounting points, guides, hinges, and the workspace for the lock and additional installations, which facilitates assembly and reduces the need for modifications.

Thanks to the use of the original body construction, the tailgate ensures proper fitment with the fenders, bumper, and rear window, which is important for both aesthetics and for the tightness and proper closing of the trunk.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate is finished in the factory Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 color, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series E91 units. The metallic paint coating allows for aesthetic matching to the existing bodywork, often limiting the scope of additional paint work to potential corrections or polishing.

Such a solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where time is of the essence and the ability to quickly return the vehicle to service is required, without the need for full painting of the entire component from scratch.

Technical and assembly characteristics

As an element from the Loading tailgates category, the product is adapted to handle the loads associated with daily trunk use – frequent opening, closing, and the operation of actuators. The construction provides appropriate rigidity and stability, which affects the durability of connections and ease of operation.

Placement in the rear of the vehicle means it is necessary to maintain proper geometry relative to seals and lighting elements to avoid leaks and unwanted noises while driving. The original construction of the tailgate promotes the maintenance of these parameters after proper installation.

Condition and use in repairs

The item is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for BMW E91 body repairs. Such components are often chosen for vehicle reconstruction after collisions, replacing damaged rear body parts, or completing a car after major bodywork.

In practice, such a trunk lid can be used both in service repairs and in restoration projects where maintaining the original body line and compliance with the factory paint color is essential.
