Purpose and Fitment

The presented fender has been specifically designed for the BMW X5 E70 model as an OEM part, ensuring a proper fit with the body lines and factory mounting points. Its placement on the vehicle covers the front right side, allowing the part to integrate seamlessly with the hood, bumper, headlight, and wheel arch liners without requiring any modifications.

The original geometry of the body panel simplifies installation and reduces the risk of issues with gaps, misalignment, or improper panel spacing. This is particularly important in repairs where both aesthetics and the preservation of the factory body structure are crucial.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Color

The fender is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, one of BMW's signature metallic paints. This allows for minimizing the painting scope with appropriate paint technology, reducing repair time and cost, and making it easier to achieve a visually consistent effect with the other body panels.

For body shops and car owners who prioritize vehicle aesthetics, this means a more convenient process for matching the shade and texture of the paint coating, as well as greater predictability of the final result.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a used part, the fender offers a cost-effective solution while maintaining the factory structural specifications. Its original origin ensures compliance with BMW's production line, translating to proper rigidity, mounting method, and compatibility with other body components.

In practice, this means that with proper installation, a factory-like finish can be achieved without the need for fitting aftermarket alternatives or modifying the vehicle's front-end structure. This solution is particularly valued by workshops specializing in premium car repairs.

Application in Body Repairs

This right front fender for the BMW X5 E70 is suitable for repairs after collisions, as well as for replacing the part due to corrosion or wear and tear. Thanks to its factory form, the panel allows for:

• restoring the original body line at the front of the vehicle,
• maintaining correct gaps between the fender, hood, and bumper,
• proper seating of adjacent components such as wheel arches or headlight mounts.

For owners and workshops, this translates to a predictable installation process and a reduced risk of requiring additional fitting work.

Product Brand and Category

The part comes from the BMW brand, which is an important criterion for many users when selecting body parts. Original front fenders ensure consistency with other body panels, as well as compliance with the factory structural solutions used in the X5 E70 model.

If, during a comprehensive front-end repair, you also need other body parts from this brand, such as panels for the opposite side or additional mounting elements, check the available parts in the BMW Front Fenders category.
