Purpose and fitment for BMW E88

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW E88 series, ensuring correct geometry, appropriate rigidity, and proper alignment with the fenders, bumper, and lighting. Thanks to a design consistent with BMW factory standards, the component maintains the body line and enables proper closing of the lid as well as compatibility with original hinges and the lock.

Positioned in the rear zone of the vehicle, the tailgate serves both as a protective function for the luggage compartment and as a structural element for the entire rear body. Proper fitment of this component is essential for trunk sealing, interior acoustics, and operational safety.

Kaschmirsilber (Cashmere Silver) Metallic A72 color

The tailgate is finished in Kaschmirsilber (Cashmere Silver) Metallic A72, a color characteristic of many BMW configurations. The metallic paint coating provides a subtle, modern look and blends well with both light and dark exterior styling accessories. For users who want to limit the scope of paint work, matching the color to the existing vehicle paint can significantly reduce repair time and costs.

The original metallic shade also facilitates the work of painters in the event of minor touch-ups, as the exact paint code is known and the coating structure corresponds to BMW factory standards.

Characteristics of the used component

The tailgate comes from dismantling, which means it is a used part that retains its factory construction and material parameters. Such components are often chosen for post-accident repairs when reasonable cost is important, while original build quality is still expected. A used tailgate is also a beneficial solution from the perspective of resource management – reusing functional components reduces waste and raw material consumption.

For body shops and individual users, using an original, used tailgate translates into predictable installation, without the need to adjust aftermarket replacements that may have different geometry or sheet metal thickness.

Function in the body structure and assembly aspects

As an element from the Tailgates and rear parts group, this lid is responsible for properly closing the luggage compartment, working with seals, and draining water from the rear of the body. The correct design of edges, stampings, and mounts is important for:

• trunk tightness and protection against moisture,
• stability of the lock and opening mechanism,
• proper routing of electrical wiring (e.g., license plate lighting),
• maintaining the factory body line.

The component is prepared for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle, using factory mounting points. Thanks to this, service work can be carried out in a predictable manner, without the need to modify the body structure.

Support for the circular economy

Choosing a used tailgate from dismantling is not only a financial saving but also a real contribution to reducing your environmental footprint. Reusing functional body components reduces the demand for the production of new parts and energy consumption.
