Purpose and Function in BMW Bodywork

The presented hood hinge is dedicated to BMW 3 Series models of the E90, E92, and E93 generation and is mounted on the right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the controlled opening and closing of the engine hood, maintaining it in the correct position, and evenly distributing loads on the front body structure. Thanks to its factory geometry, the hinge works with the original mounting points, which facilitates the alignment of gaps between the hood, fenders, and bumper.

Tasman Green Metallic A81 Color and Visual Aspect

The part is finished in Tasman Green Metallic A81, characteristic of selected BMW paint configurations. In case of accident repairs or single-sided hinge replacement, this allows for limiting the need for additional painting in areas visible after opening the hood. Maintaining the correct paint code promotes visual consistency of the engine bay and the hood's edge, which is important both aesthetically and for resale value.

Benefits of Using an Original Hood Hinge

Using an original hood hinge for the BMW E90 / E92 / E93 allows for maintaining the factory operating parameters of the engine hood. In practice, this translates to:

• stable hood guidance during opening and closing,
• reduction of stress in the front body section,
• easier alignment of even gaps and sheet metal contact lines,
• maintaining correct cooperation with the hood latch and opening limiters.

For body and paint shops, as well as services specializing in BMW, this is a solution that facilitates restoring the vehicle to its manufacturer-intended condition without the need for time-consuming modifications.

Used Condition and Application in Repairs

The offered hood hinge is in used condition, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative for accident repairs, front-end geometry corrections, or replacement of worn-out hood opening mechanism components. With proper installation and adjustment, it allows for restoring the full functionality of the engine hood lifting system while maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory design.

Part Selection and Additional Technical Information

The part has an OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verifying compatibility with a specific body version and year of the BMW 3 Series. It is advisable to compare the markings with service documentation or the existing hinge to confirm compatibility before installation. This helps avoid fitting issues and ensures proper cooperation with the hood and other front body components.
