Purpose and fitment for BMW

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the BMW E90 series body and is intended for installation on the front left side of the vehicle. This ensures the correct wheel arch geometry, panel gaps, and compatibility with factory mounting points for the headlight, bumper, and side skirts. Thanks to a design compliant with manufacturer standards, safety parameters and structural rigidity in the front end area are maintained.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color

The factory Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is a popular, elegant BMW metallic paint that effectively masks minor dirt and gives the body a subtle, dynamic character. Using a fender in the same shade facilitates the post-accident repair or renovation process – in many cases, it limits the scope of painting to minimal corrections, which reduces labor time and the costs of preparing the component.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the fender comes from vehicle dismantling and retains its original material structure and factory pressings. This type of component is particularly beneficial for repairs where body line consistency and predictable sheet metal behavior during installation are essential. A used body component also allows for reduced service costs while maintaining manufacturer standards.

Application in body repairs

The front left fender for the BMW E90 is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing a corroded or mechanically damaged component. A correctly selected wheel arch panel:

• restores the proper side line of the vehicle,
• ensures correct alignment of the door, hood, and bumper edges,
• protects the engine bay and wheel well from road debris. Thanks to the preservation of the factory shape, it is possible to seamlessly fit wheel arch liners, moldings, and other components mounted in this area.

OEM compatibility and interchangeable numbers

The component features markings consistent with the BMW OEM standard, as well as assigned interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific body version and vehicle year. Before purchasing, it is recommended to compare the technical data of the fender with the car manufacturer's information to confirm full compatibility with your specific BMW E90.
