Intended Use and Fitment for BMW F40

The presented tailgate is specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series F40 body, intended for the rear of the vehicle. This ensures the preservation of factory body lines, proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and glass, as well as compatibility with original mounting points for hinges and gas struts.

Thanks to its OEM construction, the geometry intended by the manufacturer is maintained, which facilitates gap adjustment, proper closing, and cooperation with factory seals and mounting hardware. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs where precision and dimensional repeatability are crucial.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Paint Finish

The tailgate is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, one of the popular, elegant metallic shades used by BMW. This paint provides:

• visual consistency with the factory body paint,
• easier color matching for local painting or blending,
• a modern, deep metallic effect characteristic of premium BMW models.

For body and paint shops, this means a reduced scope of preparatory work – the part already has the correct structure and base color, simplifying the process of matching it to the rest of the body.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The tailgate is a used part, meaning it retains its original factory construction and parameters. A used OEM part is often a cost-effective solution in situations where:

• preserving the original sheet metal quality and stampings is important,
• compatibility with original mountings and hardware is crucial,
• a more economical solution than a new part from an authorized dealer is sought.

This approach is favored by both professional workshops and discerning owners who expect a robust, proven body part for their BMW F40.

Application in Body Repairs and Rear-End Rebuilds

The original BMW F40 tailgate in Black Sapphire Metallic is primarily used for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• replacing a damaged or corroded tailgate,
• restoring the vehicle to its factory specification.

By maintaining the factory shape and mounting points, it's possible to correctly align the lock, hinges, and other rear body components, which translates to comfortable daily use and proper tailgate functionality.
