Purpose and Fitment for BMW E90

The presented hinge is intended for installation in the front part of the body, on the left side, in BMW E90 3 Series models. The construction based on the vehicle manufacturer's solutions allows for maintaining factory mounting points and the correct hood line relative to the fenders and bumper. This is particularly important in post-accident repairs where precise restoration of the original body geometry is crucial.

The element comes from the Doors and Door Sheet Metal group, meaning it is part of the body structure responsible for proper panel alignment and comfort in daily vehicle operation.

Silverstone Metallic A29 Color and Installation Benefits

The hinge is factory finished in the Silverstone Metallic A29 shade, characteristic of many BMW models. In practice, this facilitates visual matching during repairs, especially when the hood and adjacent body elements have the same paint code. In many cases, this allows limiting the painting scope solely to the repaired elements, which shortens the bodywork and painting time.

Thanks to the preservation of the original paint coating, the hinge integrates well with other body panels, and its construction ensures smooth hood movement during opening and closing.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

As an element mounted in the front area, on the left side of the vehicle, the hinge is responsible for:

• stable support of the engine hood during driving and parking,
• controlled movement of the cover during opening, without unwanted play,
• maintaining the correct hood position relative to other body elements.

The product has a dedicated OEM part number and associated replacement numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification with a specific BMW E90 version. This allows for precise selection of the part for a given vehicle, minimizing the risk of installation problems.

Condition, Origin, and Application in Repairs

The offered hood hinge is an original BMW part in used condition, which in practice means preserving the factory geometry and construction while offering cost attractiveness compared to new parts. This is a sensible solution for body repairs where a combination of correct fit and control of the service budget is key.

The element is suitable for both local repairs after minor collisions and for larger bodywork projects where the replacement of the entire hood hinge system on one side of the vehicle is necessary.
