Technical specifications and intended use

The offered tailgate belongs to the Boot lids and rear hatches group and is dedicated to installation in the rear body section of the BMW E90 series after the facelift (LCI). The construction is prepared for use with factory mounting points, which helps maintain proper body geometry and ensures the correct operation of the lock, hinges, and seals.

Its placement in the rear body zone ensures compatibility with factory surrounding elements – the bumper, lights, glass, and trunk seals. Thanks to this, the tailgate can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing a component due to corrosion or operational damage.

Le Mans Blue Metallic color – an advantage for body repairs

The finish in the Le Mans Blue Metallic shade allows for minimizing the scope of painting in many cases, which is beneficial for quick body repairs. For body shops and individual users, this means the possibility of shortening repair time and reducing costs associated with painting the entire component.

The metallic paint coating complies with the factory BMW color specification, which makes it easier to match the shade to the remaining body panels. In practice, this translates into an aesthetic connection with adjacent body elements and the maintenance of a consistent, characteristic BMW appearance.

Benefits of using an original BMW tailgate

Using an original tailgate in the BMW E90 LCI allows for the preservation of factory crease lines, correct gaps between elements, and proper alignment of the trunk edges. This is important not only visually but also functionally – it affects the correct closing of the lid, the tightness of the luggage compartment, and proper water drainage around the lock and seals.

The component from this group is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• eliminating the effects of corrosion or mechanical damage to the tailgate,
• restoring the original appearance of the vehicle after unprofessional repairs.

For users concerned about the residual value of the car, it is important that using an original tailgate helps maintain the structural and visual consistency of the body, which may be significant when reselling the vehicle later.

Installation zone and practical aspects

The tailgate is intended for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle, which requires following the appropriate procedure for dismantling and installing body components. In practice, this means the need to correctly set the clearances between panels, adjust the position relative to the bumper and lights, and check the operation of the trunk opening and closing mechanism.

During installation, it is worth paying attention to:

• correct alignment of the tailgate relative to the hinges and lock,
• the condition of seals and water drainage elements,
• consistency of the body lines with the fenders and rear bumper.

Thanks to the preservation of factory mounting points and geometry, the fitting process is predictable and can be carried out under standard workshop conditions.
