Purpose and fitment

The offered tailgate is dedicated to the BMW 3 E90 series and is mounted on the rear of the body. The component is designed as a structural body part, ensuring proper closing of the luggage compartment and stable mounting of accessories such as hinges, locks, or seals. By maintaining factory geometry, the trunk lid allows for proper alignment with the fenders, bumper, and taillights, which is important for both aesthetics and body sealing.

Color and paint finish

The trunk lid is finished in the original Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series E90 models. This metallic graphite shade blends well with the body lines, emphasizing the car's understated, elegant character. Using the factory color reduces the need for a full repaint, which in many cases allows for shorter repair times and optimized costs, especially when the vehicle shares the same paint code.

Structural characteristics

The trunk lid belongs to a group of body components that are essential for daily vehicle operation. The construction is designed to work with factory mounting points and seals, which facilitates installation and subsequent adjustment of the position relative to adjacent panels. The properly selected weight of the component promotes the correct operation of hinges and actuators, and also affects the comfort of opening and closing the trunk lid.

Use in body repairs

The used BMW 3 E90 Rear Boot Trunk Lid Tailgate Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 is suitable for post-accident repairs, corrosion corrections, and replacing body parts after mechanical damage. In many cases, it allows for minimizing the scope of body and paint work, which is beneficial for both workshops and individual users. It is a practical solution for those who want to restore the proper appearance and functionality of the rear body section without investing in a new part.
