Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 E92 Coupe

The presented tailgate is designed specifically for the rear body section of the BMW 3 Series E92 Coupe. Its placement in the rear zone ensures proper alignment with the roofline, fenders, and bumper, which is crucial for both aesthetics and the sealing of the luggage compartment. The original construction allows for installation in place of the factory component without the need for body modifications.

Le Mans Blau Metallic – 381 color

The tailgate is finished in the distinctive Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 paint, associated with dynamic BMW configurations. For vehicle owners with this color, it means the possibility of reducing the scope of paintwork, which speeds up the repair process and may lower its cost. The metallic coating harmonizes well with the coupe lines, emphasizing the sporty character of the body.

Characteristics of the body component

As a part from the Tailgates and rear lids group, this component is responsible for closing the luggage compartment, proper guidance of the actuators, and correct seating of the lock and seals (installed according to the vehicle configuration). The tailgate construction is prepared to withstand the loads resulting from daily use, opening and closing the trunk, and the operation of supporting mechanisms. The applied geometry ensures proper adhesion to the seals, which is important for protecting the interior of the trunk from moisture.

Condition, weight, and assembly aspects

The item is offered as a used tailgate, which in practice means a real alternative to new parts while maintaining structural functionality. The specific weight of the tailgate promotes stable operation of the hinges and actuators, while also facilitating handling during installation and adjustment. With proper adjustment of the hinges and lock, it is possible to achieve even gaps and correct closing, which affects the comfort of using the vehicle.
