Purpose and fitment

The offered tailgate is designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E87 body, taking into account factory geometry and mounting points. Its placement in the rear section of the body ensures proper cooperation with hinges, the lock, gas struts, and the trunk seal, which translates into stable closing and appropriate structural rigidity.

The component comes from the BMW production line, ensuring correct dimensional tolerances, compatibility with factory accessories, and predictable behavior when adjusting gaps and alignment with the fenders and rear bumper.

Color and paint layer

The tailgate is finished in Quarzblau Metallic - A18, characteristic of the BMW palette. The metallic paint coating provides an aesthetic, deep shade of blue with a light effect visible under various lighting conditions. For users who want to limit the scope of paint work, using a component in the same color code significantly facilitates visual matching to the rest of the body.

The original paint structure promotes uniform light reflection along the roof line, fenders, and bumper, which is essential for accident repairs and restoring the vehicle's factory appearance.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate belongs to the Trunk lids and tailgates group, meaning it is designed as a structural element of the rear body, responsible for both closing the luggage compartment and for the proper routing of seals and mounting of equipment. The design provides for integration with factory components, such as license plate lighting, the lock, gas struts, or interior trim elements.

As a used part, the tailgate is a practical solution for repairs where maintaining the original body geometry and reducing costs is key. Installation is carried out at standard mounting points provided by the manufacturer, which facilitates the work of the body and paint shop and shortens the time required to restore the vehicle to full functionality.

Benefits of using an original BMW tailgate

Using an original BMW tailgate in Quarzblau Metallic offers a number of practical advantages:

• preservation of the factory body line and correct gaps between elements,
• easier color matching to the vehicle's existing paint,
• compatibility with original equipment and trim elements,
• possibility to limit the scope of body and paint work.

Thanks to this, the tailgate will work well both for accident repairs and for replacing a component due to corrosion or operational damage, providing a solid base for further service work.
