Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E87

The presented sill trim has been specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series E87 model, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement on the left side of the vehicle allows for precise replication of the original sill line, without the need for modifications or fitting a universal part. The use of an original BMW part promotes structural consistency and proper alignment with adjacent body elements.

Titansilber Metallic - 354 Color and Aesthetic Qualities

The factory color Titansilber Metallic - 354 is a popular shade of silver paint used by BMW, characterized by a subtle metallic finish. Using a trim in this color can reduce or completely eliminate the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same paint code. In practice, this means:

• easier restoration of a cohesive look to the side of the car body,
• reduced costs associated with preparing and painting the part,
• maintaining the original character of the BMW E87 finish.

Part Characteristics and Installation

The sill trim serves a protective and aesthetic function, shielding the lower part of the body from minor mechanical damage and dirt from the wheels. The design tailored to the specific model facilitates installation at the original mounting points, ensuring a stable fit of the part on the car body. Using a used OEM component allows for compliance with factory manufacturing standards, while also reducing the cost of repair or vehicle renovation.

• a component designed precisely for the specific BMW model,
• factory fit to the body line and mounting points,
• visual consistency with other body elements in the same paint color.
