Purpose and fitment

The presented fuel filler flap is designed specifically for the BMW E93 LCI facelift body, ensuring it maintains factory body lines and proper alignment with the fender and bumper. As part of the Fuel filler covers and accessories group, it ensures proper closure of the filler and protects the fuel neck from contaminants.

Color and finish

The flap comes in the original Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color, characteristic of BMW metallic paints. This minimizes the risk of color mismatch when correctly matched to the body, which is particularly important for components located at eye level. The metallic paint finish provides an aesthetic gloss and blends well with other body components, maintaining a consistent look for the entire vehicle.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used part, the fuel filler flap is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs or minor bodywork corrections. Its original origin allows for maintaining factory geometry, proper hinge operation, and correct fitment to the fender line. This type of component is particularly useful when you want to limit the scope of paint work – with proper color matching, installation without repainting the entire panel is often sufficient.

Function in the fuel system and body

The fuel filler flap serves a dual role: it protects the filler area from water, dirt, and mechanical damage, and visually completes the side line of the body. In convertible models like the E93, this is important for both aesthetics and maintaining proper sealing around the filler area. If you want to better understand how the fuel filler cover works with other components of the refueling system, the article describing the entire fuel system – from the tank to the injectors – will be useful: fuel system – construction, diagnostics, and selection of components by OEM numbers.
