Purpose and fitment for BMW

The presented tailgate is a body component from the Tailgates and rear lids category, designed specifically for BMW E92 series models. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle means it is responsible for both closing the luggage compartment and maintaining the proper body lines, as well as ensuring correct alignment with the bumper, lights, and seals.

Thanks to its factory geometry and original construction, the tailgate maintains the correct mounting gaps, which facilitates the adjustment of hinges, the lock, and fastening elements. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where precise restoration of the original body geometry is essential.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate is finished in Spacegrau Metallic - A52, a color characteristic of many BMW E92 units. The metallic paint coating provides an aesthetic, understated look and blends well with the coupe lines of this model. In many cases, this allows for limiting the scope of paint work to local touch-ups and polishing, which reduces repair time and costs.

The uniform shade and factory paint structure help achieve a consistent visual effect with the rest of the body components, while maintaining the shine and depth of color characteristic of BMW.

Technical specifications and installation

The tailgate is adapted for installation in the Rear position, maintaining the original mounting points. The design allows for integration with factory hinges, the lock, and equipment installation, which facilitates the transfer of existing components from the damaged tailgate. This makes it possible to reuse existing equipment, such as the wiring harness or locking mechanism, provided they are in good working order.

The part comes from a BMW vehicle, which ensures compliance with the manufacturer's factory quality standards. The used condition of the part allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original body construction, without the need to resort to aftermarket replacements with uncertain fitment.

Use in body and paint repairs

The Spacegrau Metallic tailgate is particularly useful for repairs following rear-end collisions, where the outer trunk skin is damaged. Using an original tailgate allows you to:

• restore the body line in accordance with the factory BMW design,
• maintain compatibility with existing rear vehicle components,
• minimize the scope of paint work thanks to the matching color,
• maintain a consistent vehicle appearance after the repair.

This solution is recommended for both body and paint workshops and individual users who want to restore the full functionality and aesthetics of the rear section of their BMW.
