Purpose and function of the fuel filler flap

The fuel filler flap in the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 is responsible for protecting the fuel filler neck from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. A properly selected component ensures:

• a consistent look for the side of the body,
• stable closing and proper guidance of the flap,
• protection of the fuel filler housing against corrosion and dirt.

The offered flap is an OEM part, which translates into a proper fit with the bodywork and compatibility with the factory hinge and locking mechanism.

Color and paint matching Spacegrau Metallic - A52

The Spacegrau Metallic - A52 finish is characteristic of many BMW E90/E91 units and allows for maintaining the vehicle's uniform stylistic line. Thanks to the factory paint shade:

• you minimize the risk of tonal differences between the flap and other body panels,
• you reduce the need for additional paint work when the paint code matches,
• you maintain the original visual character of the car.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or spot restoration of the side body section, where precise color matching is essential.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered fuel filler flap is a used part, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-quality ratio while maintaining the original BMW construction. This type of component is a good choice when:

• you are repairing local body damage after a collision or vandalism,
• you want to maintain factory fitment and component geometry,
• you are looking for a part consistent with the original manufacturing standard.

A used OEM element usually fits better into the existing body structure than aftermarket replacements with universal geometry.
