Purpose and fitment

The presented tailgate is designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series E91 version. Its placement in the rear zone ensures full integration with the factory body structure, maintaining the correct geometry, panel gaps, and character lines typical of this model.

By using an original BMW component, proper fitment to the hinges, lock, and other rear assembly elements is maintained, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Color and visual aspect

The tailgate comes in the factory Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, which was one of the popular shades used on the BMW E91. The metallic graphite effectively masks minor operational dirt and harmonizes with the body lines, which is crucial when replacing a single body panel.

For many users, this means the possibility of installing the part in the existing color without the need for a full repaint, which shortens repair time and reduces costs while maintaining a consistent vehicle appearance.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate belongs to the Tailgates and rear lids group, which are components responsible for closing the cargo space and protecting the rear of the vehicle. The design intended for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures adequate rigidity, compatibility with seals, and proper closing.

As a used part, the tailgate is a good choice for post-accident repairs, bodywork corrections, or replacement due to corrosion. Using an original BMW part helps maintain the correct body geometry, which is important for both safety and the vehicle's future resale value.

Benefits of using an original BMW tailgate

• Factory fitment for the E91 body in the rear section of the vehicle.
• Original Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, reducing the need for a full repaint.
• Visual consistency with other BMW body components.
