Purpose and fitment for BMW X1 E84

This fuel flap has been designed specifically for the BMW X1 E84 model, taking into account the geometry of the rear fender and the factory opening mechanism. As a result, proper alignment with the body line is maintained, and installation requires no structural modifications or additional adapters.

Its original BMW origin ensures compliance with factory dimensional tolerances, which translates into stable seating of the component, correct hinge operation, and proper closing of the flap against the fuel cap and filler neck.

Midnight Blue Metallic B38 color and aesthetic value

The Midnight Blue Metallic – B38 finish allows for a uniform paint surface in the area of the rear fender and fuel filler zone. The metallic structure of the paint provides a characteristic depth of color that harmonizes well with the body lines of the BMW X1 E84.

For users looking to minimize paint work, using a flap in the same paint code is a practical solution – in many cases, standard polishing and potential visual blending with the rest of the bodywork is sufficient.

Vehicle placement and technical function

The component is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the area of the fuel filler neck. The flap serves a protective function for the cap and filler neck, shielding the fuel system from external contaminants, moisture, and mechanical damage resulting from daily use.

A properly selected and installed flap reduces the risk of dirt and water entering the area around the cap, which is important for the long-term integrity of the fuel system and convenience during refueling.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered item is in used condition, which means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of normal wear. This type of solution is often chosen for body repairs because it allows for the preservation of the original BMW construction while reducing costs compared to new parts.

In the case of exterior elements such as a fuel flap, a used OEM component ensures proper fitment to the bodywork and compatibility with factory mounts and the opening mechanism.
