Vehicle Application and Function

This hinge is specifically designed for the right side of the tailgate in BMW 1 Series models of the E81, E87, and facelifted (LCI) E87N generations. It is responsible for precisely guiding the tailgate during opening and closing, maintaining it in the correct position, and evenly distributing loads onto the body structure.

The part works in conjunction with the left hinge and tailgate struts to form a complete tailgate suspension system. By retaining the factory mounting points, it allows for proper alignment of the gaps between the tailgate and the fenders and bumper, which is important for both the aesthetics and the sealing of the rear body section.

Color and Visual Fitment

The hinge is prepared for use with a white tailgate, facilitating visual matching in vehicles of the same body color. If parts of the hinge are visible when the tailgate is open, this helps maintain a cohesive look in the trunk area without the need for additional painting.

For body shops and car owners who prioritize vehicle aesthetics, this offers a practical solution when replacing a damaged hinge due to an accident or wear and tear.

Benefits of Using an Original Hinge

Using a factory tailgate hinge for the BMW 1 Series E81/E87/E87N LCI offers several technical advantages:

• maintains the original opening and closing geometry of the tailgate,
• correctly transfers loads to the body structure,
• simplifies the adjustment of the tailgate's position relative to adjacent components,
• is compatible with factory screws and mountings,
• ensures visual consistency in white vehicles.

Therefore, replacing a damaged part with an original equivalent allows for the restoration of proper tailgate function without the need for structural modifications or the use of substitute solutions.

Application in BMW Body Repairs

This right tailgate hinge is suitable for both professional body shops and independent workshops specializing in the BMW brand. It enables collision repairs, alignment corrections of the rear body section, and replacement of worn tailgate suspension components in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

For comprehensive work on the rear body section, such as replacing the tailgate, adjusting the latch, or installing new seals, using the original right-side hinge facilitates proper component fitment and reduces the risk of needing further adjustments after the repair is completed.
