Technical Specifications and Stratus Grey Metallic – 440 Color

This hood belongs to the Hoods category and is intended for installation in the front area of the vehicle. The component is manufactured according to manufacturer standards, ensuring correct geometry, preparation for factory hinges, latch, and engine compartment seals. A key feature is the Stratus Grey Metallic – 440 paint, which boasts an elegant metallic finish that complements the body lines of the BMW 6 Series.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Using a Used OEM Part

The offered hood is an original BMW part in used condition, which translates to a favorable combination of factory quality and an attractive price compared to new body panels. A used OEM component retains its proper material structure, factory stampings, and compatibility with the vehicle's passive safety system. In many cases, this is a better solution than uncertain aftermarket alternatives, especially where precise fitment with other front-end components and proper operation of the hood latch mechanism are crucial.

• factory fitment to the front body structure,
• preservation of the original styling lines of the 6 Series,
• Stratus Grey Metallic – 440 metallic paint conducive to aesthetic restoration,
• compatibility with factory mounting and sealing elements.

Thanks to these features, the hood is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing a worn or corroded panel with a component that retains its structure and geometry.
