Glacier Silber Metallic - A83 Color and Aesthetic Qualities

The fender is finished in the factory color Glacier Silber Metallic - A83, which facilitates matching with the vehicle's existing paintwork. For many users, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of painting work, thus reducing repair time and costs.

The metallic paint finish ensures a cohesive look with other body elements of the BMW F30 / F31, maintaining the characteristic, understated, and modern appearance of the 3 Series. The appropriately chosen color also influences the vehicle's value after repair, minimizing the visibility of bodywork and paint intervention.

Technical and Construction Parameters

The fender belongs to the Front Fenders category, meaning it is designed to operate in an area exposed to external factors such as water, road salt, or impacts from small stones. Its placement on the vehicle, specified as front – right side, ensures unambiguous assignment of the part to a specific mounting position.

The product has a defined weight and assigned replacement numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration. This allows for precise selection of the part for a given BMW model, minimizing the risk of purchasing an incompatible part.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

The fender is offered as a used part, representing a reasonable compromise between repair cost and maintaining original quality. For users and body shops, this means the possibility of using a part from disassembly, compliant with BMW's factory specifications.
