Purpose and function of the tailgate

The presented tailgate is a body component mounted at the rear of the vehicle, responsible for closing the luggage compartment and interacting with the hinges, lock, and lighting system. The OEM design ensures proper geometry, allowing the tailgate to work with factory seals, struts, and the lock, maintaining tightness and correct alignment with the fenders and bumper.

The Karmesinrot - A61 color allows for aesthetic matching to the body without the need to change the vehicle's color, which reduces the scope of paintwork and facilitates restoring the car's original appearance after a collision or corrosion of the element.

Technical parameters and fitment

As a part from the Tailgates and rear lids category, this component was designed specifically for the BMW 3 Series E92 coupé body, taking into account the characteristic line of the rear lid. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle means the tailgate works with the factory hinge system and the opening/closing mechanism, which facilitates installation in place of the damaged part.

The Karmesinrot - A61 color code is important when selecting parts for a specific vehicle, as it helps minimize shade differences between the newly installed tailgate and the remaining body panels. In practice, this translates into a more predictable final result after any necessary paint adjustments.

Condition of the component and benefits of using a used part

The tailgate is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs or restoration when the priority is to maintain the original structure within a reasonable budget. A used OEM component retains its factory geometry and mounting method, which simplifies bodywork and reduces the need for additional modifications.

Using an original tailgate in Karmesinrot - A61 color allows for a technically correct reconstruction of the rear body section, maintaining the proper body line and compatibility with other components mounted in the luggage compartment area.

Application in BMW E92 body repairs

Replacing the tailgate is a typical stage of repair after rear vehicle damage, such as collisions, dents, or corrosion. Using an original tailgate in Karmesinrot - A61 color allows for:

• restoring proper closing and sealing of the luggage compartment,
• maintaining the factory body line characteristic of the BMW E92,
• reducing the scope of paintwork thanks to the matched color,
• maintaining compatibility with factory mounting elements and rear lid equipment.

For body shops and individual users, this means a more efficient repair process and a predictable final result in terms of both technical and visual aspects.
