Purpose and fitment for BMW E81 / E87

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the BMW E81 and E87 series, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear body zone means the component is responsible for the proper closing of the luggage compartment, tightness, and stable alignment of the body edges with the fenders and bumper.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the tailgate works with the original hinges, struts, and lock, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications. This is a practical solution for post-collision repairs, where both correct geometry and maintaining factory gaps between elements are essential.

Characteristics of the Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76 paint

The Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76 color is a distinctive, metallic shade of blue from the BMW palette, often found in the brand's compact models. The metallic structure of the paint provides an attractive play of light on the surface of the tailgate, while also effectively masking minor operational dirt.

In the case of body and paint repairs, using a component in the same paint code significantly simplifies the color matching process. The painter can limit themselves to potential blending of adjacent panels instead of fully repainting the entire rear section of the body, which translates into time and cost savings.

Technical parameters and condition of the component

The tailgate belongs to the Boot lids and tailgates group, meaning it has been designed to withstand the loads resulting from daily opening and closing of the trunk and the operation of gas struts. The construction includes appropriate internal reinforcements, mounting points for accessories, and routing for electrical wiring, if the vehicle is equipped with it.

The item is in used condition, which in practice means it may show signs of previous use typical for parts removed from a vehicle. For workshops and individual users, this is a cost-effective solution, allowing for the preservation of original BMW structural quality while reducing expenses compared to new body parts.

Application in body repairs and restorations

Replacing the tailgate is often necessary after parking damage, rear-end collisions, or in cases of advanced corrosion. Using an original tailgate in the correct color allows you to:

• maintain the body line and factory fitment of elements,
• minimize the scope of paintwork,
• maintain a consistent vehicle appearance after repair,
• reduce the vehicle's downtime in the workshop.

For users who care about the aesthetics and residual value of their car, installing an original tailgate in the dedicated color is a reasonable compromise between quality and repair costs.
