Intended Use and Function of the Part

The presented fuel filler flap is structurally adapted to the rear section of the BMW 3 Series F30 body, where it serves to cover the refueling neck and provide an aesthetic finish to the fender surface. The part works with the factory opening and closing mechanism, which preserves the original functionality of the fuel system and user convenience during daily operation.

Its placement in the rear of the vehicle means the flap serves both a protective and visual role – it shields the filler area from external dirt and contributes to the uniform appearance of the vehicle's side panel.

Color Scheme and Paint Matching

The part is finished in the factory color Mineral Grey Metallic – B39, characteristic of many BMW F30 configurations. This allows for paint consistency without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same color code. The metallic paint finish has been selected to match the model's styling line, making it easier to restore the original appearance after bodywork and painting repairs.

In practice, this means that with correct identification of the body color, the scope of workshop work can be limited to the replacement of the part itself, reducing vehicle downtime and simplifying the visual repair process.

Installation Characteristics

The BMW F30 fuel filler flap is designed as a body part intended for installation in the factory location, using original mounting points. The construction is designed to work with the standard hinge and opening mechanism, ensuring that the original geometry and operation of the part are maintained after installation.

When selecting a part, it is worth paying attention to:

• vehicle model compatibility (F30 platform),
• placement in the rear of the body,
• identical paint code Mineral Grey Metallic – B39.

Such selection helps to reduce the risk of misalignment and ensures correct fitment with adjacent body panels.

Application in Repairs and Restorations

The offered fuel filler flap is particularly suitable for accident repairs, bodywork and paint corrections, and visual vehicle restoration when only the filler cover element has been damaged. Using an original part from the Fuel Filler Covers and Accessories group allows for the preservation of factory body lines and the correct functioning of the refueling system without the need for structural modifications.

Technical Support and Selection by Numbers

When selecting a fuel filler flap for a specific BMW F30 configuration, it is crucial to consider the OEM number and interchangeable numbers to verify compatibility with the given year and equipment version. If in doubt, it is advisable to use the vehicle's VIN number and manufacturer's documentation to avoid installing a part with different geometry or finish.
