Purpose and Function of the BMW E81 E87 Tailgate Hinge

The presented hinge is dedicated to the rear tailgate of BMW 1 Series E81/E87 models, on the right side. It is responsible for stable lid guidance, proper opening and closing, and maintaining the correct position of the lid relative to the body. Thanks to its factory design, it ensures:

• precise lid guidance without unwanted play,
• appropriate load distribution in the mounting area,
• maintenance of factory gaps between body elements.

Titansilber Metallic – 354 Color and Visual Matching

The hinge is finished in Titansilber Metallic - 354 color, which facilitates installation on vehicles with the same paint without the need for additional painting of the part. This is particularly important for accident repairs or replacement of individual components where visual consistency and reduced repair time are crucial.

Mounting Characteristics and Right-Side Application

The placement of the hinge on the right side of the rear tailgate is important for the geometry of the entire opening mechanism. The part has been designed for the specific body structure of the BMW E81/E87, which translates to:

• secure mounting in factory body and lid points,
• proper cooperation with the left hinge and other mechanism components,
• maintenance of the lid's axis of rotation according to the manufacturer's specifications.

This allows the hinge to be used for both standard replacement of worn parts and for repairs after rear-end collisions.

Used Condition and Benefits of Using OE Parts

This part comes from the used BMW parts group, allowing for economical repair while maintaining original construction. Using an OE component for the rear tailgate reduces the risk of fitting issues, squeaking, or improper closing. It is a practical solution for users who want to restore full tailgate functionality while maintaining the factory standard of execution.
