Color and visual fit

The Sparkling Graphite Metallic – A22 color is a distinctive metallic graphite shade used in the BMW range, which blends well with both light and dark body elements. Using original paint in this shade allows for maintaining visual consistency of the rear of the vehicle without the need to experiment with aftermarket color shades.

The component, as part of the Bumpers and reinforcements group, is designed for precise fitting with other rear body components, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork adjustments.

Technical characteristics and installation

The panel is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in place of the factory bumper, while maintaining original mounting points. The design provides for integration with factory brackets, guides, and reinforcement elements, allowing for installation in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

As a used component, the panel may show signs of wear typical for dismantled parts, but it retains the structural functionality necessary for further use. In practice, this means it can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn body parts.

Using the original rear bumper trim panel in Sparkling Graphite Metallic – A22 allows you to:

• maintain the factory body line and geometry of the rear of the vehicle,
• ensure the correct operation of the PDC system thanks to the provided slots for sensors,
