Application and Function in BMW 3 F30 / F80 M3 Body

The presented hinge is dedicated to the right side of the tailgate in BMW 3 Series F30 generation models and the sporty F80 M3 version. It is responsible for:

• guiding the tailgate's movement along the correct path,

By retaining its original construction, the hinge allows for a consistent body line and proper operation of the rear vehicle's lock and seals.

Orionsilber Metallic A92 Color and Installation Aspects

The part is finished in Orionsilber Metallic A92 paint, which is a significant advantage for accident repairs or spot replacements of parts in this color. In many cases, this allows for reducing or completely omitting the repainting process, shortening repair time and lowering costs.

As a part from the Tailgates and Rear group, the hinge works with the factory mounting points on the body and the tailgate itself. With proper installation, it enables:

• precise adjustment of the tailgate's position relative to the fenders and bumper,
• restoration of the original geometry of the rear body section,
• maintaining the trunk's seal against water and dust.

Characteristics of a Used OEM Part

The offered hinge is a used part, sourced from the disassembly of an original BMW vehicle. Such OEM components are valued for:

• factory fit for a specific body generation,
• retention of original rigidity and operating characteristics,
• compatibility with factory bolts, actuators, and the tailgate.

Choosing an original hinge from disassembly is often a cost-effective solution for repairs where maintaining compliance with the vehicle's original construction and reducing costs compared to new parts is crucial.

Why Use This Tailgate Hinge
