Purpose and fitment for BMW E82 Coupé

The offered tailgate is a body component mounted on the rear of the BMW 1 Series Coupé E82. The design corresponds to the factory BMW project, which allows for maintaining proper gaps, body lines, and compatibility with original hinges, the lock, and other rear assembly components. As a result, the tailgate provides a solid base for accident repairs or reconstruction of the rear body section.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color and aesthetic value

The factory Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is a popular, dark metallic BMW paint that effectively masks minor dirt and highlights the body lines. Using the original shade facilitates painting work – in many cases, local blending and polishing are sufficient instead of full repainting of the entire component. This is a beneficial solution for repairs where both aesthetics and cost control are important.

Technical and structural characteristics

The tailgate belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, meaning it has been designed to withstand the loads resulting from daily operation – opening, closing, and the operation of the lock and actuators. The component has a specific weight, which is important for the proper selection of gas springs and maintaining the correct operation of the hinges. The structure is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, maintaining factory mounting points.

Used condition and application in repairs

The tailgate is a used component, which in practice means it comes from vehicle dismantling and can be an attractive cost-effective alternative to a new part. Such components are often chosen for accident repairs, restorations, or returning a car to a near-factory state after damage to the rear of the body. A used tailgate allows for limiting the scope of bodywork if the existing element is deformed or corroded.

Integration with other BMW body components

When replacing the tailgate, it is worth paying attention to the fitment with the fenders, rear bumper, lights, and trunk seals. The original BMW construction promotes the maintenance of proper body geometry, which translates into the tightness of the luggage compartment and the correct operation of the lock and electrical installation (after transferring the equipment from the previous tailgate). Thanks to this, the tailgate for the BMW E82 Coupé can be used both in spot repairs and during larger bodywork projects.
