Purpose and fitment for BMW E90/E91

The presented fuel filler flap is specifically designed for installation in the rear body section of BMW 3 Series E90 and E91 generation models. This ensures a proper fit to the fender contours, correct hinge geometry, and compatibility with the factory opening mechanism. As a result, the component maintains the body line after installation and requires no modifications to the vehicle's structure.

As part of the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group, the flap works with the standard fuel cap and filler neck, providing adequate protection for the fuel tank inlet against dirt and atmospheric conditions.

Vermilionrot Metallic A82 color and visual aspect

The Vermilionrot Metallic A82 color is a distinctive, metallic shade of red used by BMW in factory production, which emphasizes the dynamic character of the bodywork. Using a flap in the same paint code allows for a reduction in the scope of paintwork required for local repairs, especially when the rest of the body panels remain in their original paint.

For vehicle owners in this color, this is a beneficial solution when replacing a damaged flap – color consistency is maintained, and any minor differences can be corrected through standard polishing procedures or color matching by a professional painter.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered flap is a used component, which in practice means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of wear typical of aftermarket parts. This type of component is a good choice for economical repairs where the priority is to maintain the original construction and color at a reasonable cost.

In the case of second-hand body parts, it is important that they retain their factory geometry and mounting method, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of issues with panel gaps or hinge operation.

Installation and role in the fuel system

The fuel filler flap is mounted in the rear body section and works in conjunction with the filler neck and tank cap. Its proper operation is not only important for aesthetics but also for utility – it protects the filler area from water, mud, and road salt, which contributes to the longer service life of fuel system components in this area.

For users who want to better understand the impact of this area on vehicle operation, an article describing the construction and maintenance of the fuel system, including the selection of components by catalog numbers, may be useful – details can be found in the material Fuel system – injectors, pumps, and fuel tank: maintenance and regeneration.
