Purpose and fitment

The presented BMW F31 Boot Trunk Lid Touring Tailgate Panel has been designed for installation in the rear body section of the F31 generation 3 Series estate. Positioned at the rear of the body, the component is responsible for both closing the luggage compartment and ensuring proper body line alignment and rear sealing. The design, compliant with BMW factory standards, facilitates installation in place of a damaged or corroded tailgate without the need for body structure modifications.

Color and paint finish

The tailgate is finished in the original Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series configurations. The metallic paint provides a deep, dark shade with a distinct light effect, allowing for visual consistency with other body elements in the same color. For body shops, this means limiting paint work to potential minor corrections, and for the user – a faster return of the car to its full visual condition.

Technical characteristics and installation

The tailgate belongs to the Boot lids and rear panels group, meaning it has been designed to withstand the loads associated with daily opening and closing of the cargo area. The construction, intended for installation in the rear body section, ensures proper hinge operation, compatibility with the lock and seals, as well as correct fitment with the bumper and side panels. The product has a specific weight, which is important when selecting actuators and hinges to maintain the proper operation of the entire tailgate assembly.

Component condition and service application

The offered tailgate is a used part, making it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, restorations, or replacing damaged body panels in a BMW F31 Touring. This type of part allows for the optimization of service costs while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with factory components. It is suitable for both professional body shops and users independently sourcing parts for body repairs.
