Purpose and fitment

The offered tailgate is an item from the Tailgates and rear parts group, dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series Touring facelift (E91 LCI). Its placement in the rear zone ensures full integration with the factory body structure, hinges, lock, and equipment installation intended for this model.

The Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color is a characteristic, dynamic BMW metallic paint, making the tailgate fit well into the styling line of sports and equipment versions, reducing the need for additional paint work when the element is properly matched to the car.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate has been designed as a Touring-type rear body element, taking into account the specific geometry of the roof, pillars, and bumper edge. The OEM construction ensures:

• proper fitment with the roof line and side body panels,
• appropriate force distribution when closing and opening the trunk,
• compatibility with factory equipment mounting points.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, the installation process is predictable for an experienced body technician or mechanic, and the risk of problems with gap adjustment, closing, or lock operation is minimized.

Condition of the element and use in repairs

The tailgate is a used component, which in practice means a favorable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original quality of the BMW body structure. This type of part is particularly suitable for:

• accident repairs of the vehicle's rear section,
• replacing a damaged or corroded tailgate,
• restoration projects where maintaining the car's factory character is important.

Choosing a used OEM element allows for maintaining material and structural consistency of the body, which is significant for both durability and the vehicle's future resale value.

Benefits of using an original BMW tailgate

Using an original tailgate in Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color brings a number of practical benefits:

• preservation of the factory body line and characteristic BMW creases,
• reduction of the painting scope when the shade is properly matched,
• better fitment to the existing rear structure compared to aftermarket replacements,
• possibility of use in professional body and paint repairs.

For workshops and individual users, this means a more predictable final result and easier quality control of the performed repair.
