The BMW 1 Series is prized for its compact agility, but earlier trims left buyers without a hands-free tailgate. Decoin's Power Liftgate kit closes that gap, adding a whisper-quiet electric lift with obstacle detection to your 1 Series' cargo hatch. Whether you're loading gear after a workout or juggling groceries, one touch does the work for you.
The BMW 1 Series wasn't originally offered with a factory power tailgate, but Decoin's Electric Tailgate Power Lift brings that same premium convenience to this compact hatchback. Built around a whisper-quiet motor, it opens and closes the 1 Series' tailgate smoothly and without the jolt of a manual lift.
Safety is engineered in: the kit senses obstacles as the tailgate closes, automatically pausing and reopening to prevent pinched fingers or damaged cargo. A double bar support system, stronger than the factory hinge alone, keeps the 1 Series' lighter tailgate stable and evenly balanced at any height.
Your original BMW 1 Series key operates the lift directly, so there's no extra remote to carry. Buttons inside the cabin and on the tailgate itself let you open or close it from wherever is most convenient.
Because the 1 Series is often parked in tighter garages, the kit memorizes a custom maximum opening height - set it once with a long button press and the tailgate will stop there every time, protecting low ceilings and door frames.
Fitment uses the 1 Series' existing tailgate hardware and only simple hand tools, guided by a detailed manual so most owners complete the upgrade in an afternoon.
Will this fit my exact BMW 1 Series generation? Decoin offers 3 fitment options for the 1 Series lineup - check the product listing for your specific model year before ordering.
Do I need to modify the tailgate? No cutting or drilling is required; the kit attaches using the 1 Series' existing mounting points.
Can I still open the tailgate by hand? Yes, manual operation remains available at any time alongside the powered function.
