Purpose and fitment for BMW E82 / E88

The fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E82 (coupe) and E88 (convertible) bodies, ensuring proper alignment with the fender line and the opening mechanism. The original mounting geometry allows for installation in place of the factory component without interfering with the body structure, which is important for both safety and subsequent operation.

Color and finish – Alpinweiss 3

The factory paint in the Alpinweiss 3 - 300 shade ensures visual consistency with other body panels of the same color. As a result, the flap does not differ in shape or shade from the rest of the bodywork after installation, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and restoring the car's original appearance.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the BMW fuel filler flap retains its factory construction and mounting parameters, which facilitates service and reduces the risk of fitment issues. This type of component is a good solution for economical repairs when you want to maintain original build quality at a reasonable replacement cost.

The role of the fuel filler flap in the fuel system

The fuel filler flap serves a protective function for the cap and filler neck, limiting the access of contaminants and the influence of weather conditions on the refueling area. A properly functioning cover reduces the risk of dirt and moisture entering the filler area, which promotes trouble-free operation of the fuel system in the long term.
