Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 E92 Coupé

The offered tailgate is a body component dedicated to the rear section of the BMW 3 Series E92 Coupé. The construction matches the factory BMW design, which facilitates installation in place of the original tailgate without the need for bodywork modifications. The correct shape of the embossments, edge lines, and mounting geometry are maintained, allowing for proper alignment with the rear fenders, bumper, and lighting.

The item belongs to the Tailgates and rear lids group, which means it was designed as a load-bearing part of the rear body structure, responsible for both functional utility (access to the luggage compartment) and for sealing and safety in the rear zone of the vehicle.

Atlantikblau Metallic A13 color and paint aspects

The tailgate is finished in Atlantikblau Metallic A13 paint, characteristic of selected BMW 3 Series E92 configurations. This shade of metallic blue blends well with the coupé line, emphasizing the dynamic character of the body. For many users, it is important that the factory paint code is used, which facilitates:

• matching other body components in the same color,
• local paint touch-ups in case of minor repairs,
• maintaining the consistent aesthetics of the entire vehicle.

When replacing the tailgate with a component in the same color, the scope of paint work can be reduced, which is beneficial in terms of both time and cost, especially in the case of post-accident or restoration repairs.

Technical characteristics and tailgate installation

The tailgate for the BMW E92 Coupé is designed as a component that works with the hinges, actuators, and lock in the rear section of the body. Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry, it is possible to use existing mounting points and original vehicle mounting accessories. This facilitates work for body shops and services specializing in the BMW brand.

As an element from the Tailgates and rear lids group, the tailgate is also responsible for the proper guidance of seal lines and cooperation with the rear lighting system, which is important for the tightness of the trunk interior and protection against corrosion in the sill zone and body edges.

Used condition and service application

The offered tailgate is a used component, which makes it an attractive solution for economic repairs when the priority is to maintain the original BMW construction at reasonable costs. Such components are often chosen by workshops specializing in post-accident repairs, fleet car renovations, and by individual users who want to restore the vehicle to a functional, aesthetic state without investing in new body parts.

Choosing an original, used tailgate allows you to maintain the characteristic E92 coupé line and factory fitment to other body elements, which is important from both a visual and technical point of view.
