Purpose and fitment for BMW E91 Touring

The presented tailgate is designed for installation in the rear body section of the 3 Series E91 generation estate. The original construction ensures proper edge alignment, correct fitment with fenders, bumper, and glass, as well as compatibility with factory hinge and strut mounting points.

By maintaining OEM geometry, the component allows for the preservation of factory gaps and body lines, which facilitates tailgate adjustment during installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork.

Arktis Arctic Metallic A34 color and visual appeal

The tailgate is finished in Arktis Arctic Metallic A34 paint, characteristic of selected BMW 3 Series E91 models. This metallic shade complements the estate's body lines well, emphasizing its understated yet dynamic character. For many users, this means the possibility of replacing the component without the need for immediate repainting of the entire tailgate, which can reduce repair time and costs.

The metallic paint structure promotes even light distribution across the surface, which improves the visual consistency of the vehicle's rear section after repair or upgrade.

Structural function and role in the body

The tailgate in the Touring version plays a key structural role in the rear body section – it is responsible for the tightness of the cargo area, proper closing, and stable mounting of rear equipment. The original geometry facilitates:

• proper alignment of the lock and latch,
• correct routing of seals and trim strips,
• maintaining the proper plane for the glass and lighting components.

As a result, after installation, you can achieve stable closing and reduce the risk of leaks in the trunk area.

Condition, origin, and service application

The component comes from the Tailgates and rear lids group and is intended for re-installation in a vehicle. The used nature of the part makes it a particularly attractive solution for post-accident repairs, body restorations, or restoring the car to a factory-like state while maintaining reasonable costs. The original origin promotes compatibility with factory components mounted in the rear section of the BMW E91 Touring.

Selection support and additional information

When selecting a tailgate, it is worth paying attention to the body version compatibility, paint color, and vehicle placement. If necessary, data such as make, condition, placement on vehicle, or color, available in the technical specifications section, may be helpful.
