Purpose and fitment

The presented tailgate is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series E91 generation estate. Thanks to a design compliant with BMW factory standards, all key mounting points, geometry, and character lines are preserved, which facilitates precise alignment with the fenders, bumper, and rear window.

The component is designed as a full-size cargo area tailgate, allowing for the maintenance of trunk functionality, proper closing, and sealing after appropriate adjustment of the hinges and lock.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate is factory-painted in the Titansilber Metallic - 354 shade, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series E91 units. The metallic paint coating ensures consistent aesthetics with the remaining body elements in the same color code, which in many cases allows for reducing or completely omitting repainting after installation (depending on the condition and individual visual requirements).

The Titansilber Metallic shade masks minor dirt well and is practical for daily use, while remaining consistent with the original BMW color palette, which is important for maintaining the vehicle's value.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, replacing the factory E91 estate tailgate. The construction based on the original BMW design enables:

• maintaining the proper geometry of the rear body section,
• correct adjustment of gaps between body panels,
• compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and hardware intended for this model.

As a used component, the tailgate is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, bodywork corrections, or replacing corroded parts, allowing for cost reduction while maintaining the original construction specifications.

Condition and practical application

The product is in used condition, meaning it has been dismantled from a vehicle and may show signs of previous use appropriate to its age and manner of operation. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• repairs after rear-end collisions,
• restoring trunk functionality after mechanical damage,
• restoration projects where preserving original BMW parts is important.

Using an original tailgate allows for maintaining structural consistency of the body and facilitates further service and bodywork/paint tasks.
