Purpose and function of the tailgate hinge

The presented hinge is dedicated to the tailgate in BMW E65, E66, and E67 series models, positioned on the left side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the precise guidance of the tailgate during opening and closing, maintaining it in the correct position, and evenly distributing loads on the body structure. This ensures the tailgate operates smoothly, without excessive play or unwanted stress.

Color and Toledoblau Metallic paint matching

The hinge is factory-finished in Toledoblau Metallic - 482, which allows for aesthetic matching to the bodywork in the same shade without the need for additional painting. The metallic paint coating is matched to BMW standards, which facilitates maintaining a consistent stylistic line of the vehicle and reduces the risk of shade differences between the hinge and other body panels.

Installation and operational characteristics

The left rear tailgate hinge is designed as a structural component that works with the actuators, lock, and tailgate skin. Its geometry is matched to the factory mounting points in the BMW E65, E66, and E67 series body, which allows for installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications. A correctly selected hinge reduces the risk of tailgate misalignment, leaks, and excessive seal wear.

Benefits of using an original BMW hinge

Using an original hinge from the Tailgates and rear parts group allows you to maintain the factory operating parameters of the tailgate, including proper connection rigidity, movement repeatability, and compatibility with other system components. The used OEM part is a good alternative for accident or maintenance repairs when the existing hinge has become bent, corroded, or mechanically worn.

Part condition and service application

The product is offered as a used part, making it a cost-effective solution for optimizing repair costs while maintaining original BMW specifications. It is suitable for both local repairs of the rear body section and comprehensive tailgate restoration after mechanical damage.
