Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 7 Series

The presented fender is designed as a body part for BMW E65/E66 models, intended for the front right side. The construction matches factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and maintains the correct front-end geometry of the vehicle. This ensures precise alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and passenger door after proper installation.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Color

The factory shade Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 is a distinctive, dark metallic BMW paint, often found on higher-trim models. Using the original color:

• facilitates visual matching with the existing body paint,
• minimizes the scope of potential paintwork,
• allows for a consistent, elegant appearance of the entire vehicle.

In case of body repairs, such a part serves as a convenient base for further processing if individual shade matching is required.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The fender is part of the body elements responsible for protecting the front wheel and defining the car's body line. The construction has been prepared for series production installation in BMW, which translates to:

• maintaining proper rigidity in the wheel arch area,
• correct alignment of the edges above the doors and hood,
• the possibility of mounting factory-associated components (wheel arch liners, trim strips, brackets).

The part has a specified technical weight, matched to the front-end structure of the vehicle, which is important for maintaining the factory weight distribution and handling characteristics of the BMW 7 Series.

Condition, Origin, and Practical Application

It is particularly suitable for situations where:

• replacement of a damaged fender after a collision is necessary,
