Purpose and Fitment

The presented fender is designed as a body part mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. Its geometry matches the factory dimensions of the BMW 1 Series E81, E82, and E87 generations, ensuring proper alignment with the hood, bumper, sill, and passenger door. This allows for the body line to be preserved after replacement, with uniform gaps between panels.

Color and Surface Finish

The fender is in the Le Mans Blue Metallic - 381 color, characteristic of sport-styled BMW models. The metallic paint finish provides an aesthetic, deep shade of blue that complements the body lines of compact models. For many users, this means the possibility of installation without the need for a full repaint, provided the condition of the coating and color match to the rest of the body are satisfactory for the specific vehicle.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The fender belongs to the group of body parts responsible for wheel protection and directing airflow along the side of the vehicle. The design includes standard mounting points to the body, facilitating installation in place of a damaged part. The product has a specified total weight, adapted to the structural requirements of the body, thus not negatively affecting the weight distribution in the front of the car.

As part of the Wheel Arches and Rear Fenders category, the fender works with inner wheel arch liners, mounting elements, and the bumper to create a complete system for protection against dirt and water thrown up by the wheels.

Product Condition and Advantages of Choosing OEM Parts

The part is offered as used, allowing for a reasonable purchase cost while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Choosing used OEM parts is particularly beneficial for body components where shape, mounting points, and material characteristics matching the factory design are crucial.

Key advantages of this solution include:

• factory fit for the BMW 1 Series E81, E82, E87 construction,
• preservation of the original body line and compatibility with adjacent panels,
• potential for reduced repair costs while maintaining high quality of workmanship.

Selection Support and Additional Information

When selecting a fender, it is important to consider the body version compatibility and vehicle placement, as well as parameters such as factory color and paint type. In case of doubt, vehicle identification data and information on part numbers and interchangeable numbers, available in the technical specification, can be helpful.
