Purpose and Function of the Part

The strip is designed for installation on the rear of the BMW 1 Series E87, in the bumper area, where it acts as a cover and finish. Its placement on the rear body section of the vehicle helps to reduce the risk of paint damage during daily use, for example, when loading luggage. The part belongs to the Bumpers and Reinforcements group, meaning it works with the bumper's structure, maintaining the factory geometry and body lines.

Color and Visual Matching

The factory color Sydneyblau Metallic - A19 is a distinctive metallic blue shade used by BMW, ensuring consistency with the original body paint. This means the strip, once installed, will not stand out from other body panels, and the transitions between the bumper and the strip will remain visually uniform. The metallic paint finish accentuates the lines of the rear of the car and helps maintain an aesthetic that aligns with BMW's factory standards.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The part is prepared as an OEM component intended for a specific BMW model, which facilitates installation in the location designated by the manufacturer. The strip is compatible with PDC parking sensors in the bumper, maintaining their correct positioning and not limiting the sensors' field of operation. Thanks to its factory profile, which is precisely matched to the E87 bumper, no modifications or shape adjustments are necessary – installation is based on the original mounting points.

Condition and Benefits of Using a Used OEM Part

The strip comes from the secondary market, allowing for a combination of an attractive price with the preservation of original BMW specifications. A used OEM part usually integrates better with the existing bodywork than a new aftermarket replacement, especially in terms of paint shade and surface texture. Choosing such a part is a sensible solution for collision repairs or refreshing the rear bodywork without the need for a full bumper respray.

Compatibility and Reference Numbers

The protection strip is linked to a dedicated OEM part number and has interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific BMW E87 configuration. Before purchasing, it is advisable to compare the designations with your vehicle's documentation or the existing part to confirm full compatibility with the specific year and equipment version, particularly regarding the presence of the PDC system.
