Purpose and fitment for BMW E91 Touring

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series Touring E91. This ensures the maintenance of factory gaps, correct positioning relative to the bumper and fenders, and compatibility with original hinges, locks, and mounting hardware. The component's geometry meets manufacturer standards, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional adjustment work.

Platinbronze Metallic A53 color and visual appeal

The tailgate is finished in Platinbronze Metallic A53 paint, characteristic of many BMW E91 units. For the user, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of painting – in many cases, local coating matching is sufficient instead of a full repaint of the component. The metallic brown shade harmonizes well with the lines of the 3 Series Touring body, preserving the car's original character and the stylistic consistency of the entire rear section of the vehicle.

Technical characteristics and construction

The tailgate belongs to the Boot lids and rear doors group, meaning it is a structural body component responsible for closing the cargo space and integrating with the rear lighting and trunk seals. The design intended for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures appropriate rigidity, correct force distribution during closing, and space for factory hardware mounts. The user receives a complete body panel prepared for further assembly according to the specific configuration of the vehicle.

Condition, origin, and service application

The component comes from dismantling and is offered as a used BMW tailgate. This type of part is particularly useful for post-accident repairs when it is necessary to replace the entire tailgate instead of performing time-consuming bodywork. The original BMW origin promotes the preservation of factory-quality fitment and compatibility with other rear body components, which is important for both aesthetics and trunk sealing.

Selection support and additional information

When choosing this tailgate, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of the body version (Touring E91) and the Platinbronze Metallic A53 paint color, which will facilitate installation and limit the scope of paint work. In case of doubts regarding fitment to a specific vehicle, comparing body parameters and the configuration of the rear part of the car with manufacturer data will be helpful.
