Technical specifications and fitment

The presented tailgate has been designed as a rear body component for the BMW E46 series, maintaining the factory mounting points and geometry specified by the manufacturer. Its placement in the rear area of the vehicle ensures full compatibility with factory hinges, locks, actuators, and lighting wiring, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional modifications.

The original Titansilber Metallic - 354 paint allows for an aesthetic match to a body of the same color, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and restoring the vehicle to a consistent, factory appearance. By maintaining the correct bodywork profile, the tailgate integrates well with the lines of the fenders, bumper, and taillights.

Titansilber Metallic - 354 color and visual aspects

The Titansilber Metallic - 354 color is a popular metallic silver shade used on many BMW E46 units. Using an original tailgate in this color:

• makes it easier to achieve a consistent paint surface without visible tonal differences,
• reduces the scope of any necessary paint work to a minimum,
• helps maintain the characteristic, elegant look of the BMW body.

For users concerned about the vehicle's aesthetics, this is a practical solution when replacing a damaged or corroded tailgate, especially when preserving the original body color is a priority.

Used condition and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The tailgate comes from the secondary market, meaning it is a used component that retains the construction and parameters intended for original BMW parts. In practice, this translates into:

• factory fitment with the body without the need for adjusting aftermarket replacements,
• preservation of the correct rigidity and geometry of the rear body section,
• the possibility of an economical repair while maintaining OEM standards.

Choosing an original, used tailgate is often a favorable compromise between repair costs and the quality and durability of the body component.

Application in the rear zone of the vehicle

As a component mounted in the rear of the car, the tailgate is responsible not only for access to the cargo area but also for the sealing and security of this zone. A properly selected and installed tailgate:

• works with seals and the lock, limiting the ingress of water and contaminants into the trunk,
• ensures proper closing and operation of the opening mechanism,
• contributes to the correct alignment of the body lines in the rear zone.

Thanks to the preservation of the original construction, the tailgate integrates well with other components of the vehicle's rear section, which is important for both user comfort and the future resale value of the car.
