Characteristics of the BMW X1 F48 Fuel Filler Flap

The presented flap belongs to the Fuel Filler Covers and Accessories category, meaning it is specifically designed to protect the fuel filler and provide an aesthetic finish to the fender on the BMW X1 F48. As an element from the BMW line, it ensures proper fitment with the body, correct hinge geometry, and appropriate adhesion to the car body.

The Mediterranean Blue Metallic - C10 color is a metallic paint that stands out with its deep hue and characteristic shine. Therefore, replacing a damaged flap with this presented element helps to limit the scope of potential painting work and maintain visual consistency with the rest of the car body, especially for vehicles with the same paint code.

Purpose and Fitment for BMW X1 F48

The flap has been designed with the BMW X1 F48 model in mind, which translates to:

• maintaining the factory body line and correct curvature radius,
• proper operation of the opening and closing mechanism for the fuel filler,
• compatibility with factory mounting points and adjacent elements (fender, filler recess).

This allows for installation without the need for structural modifications, and the flap behaves like an original BMW X1 F48 body part after installation.

Mediterranean Blue Metallic C10 Color – Practical Aspects

The metallic paint in the Mediterranean Blue Metallic C10 shade is a popular choice for the BMW X1 F48 due to its understated yet distinctive character. Replacing the flap in this color is particularly beneficial when:

• the current fuel filler cover has suffered mechanical damage or corrosion,
• visual consistency needs to be restored after bodywork and painting repairs,
• you want to maintain the original paint code without having to fully repaint the new part.

Choosing a part in the same color helps to minimize the risk of differences in shade and coating structure, which is especially important for metallic paints.

Used Condition – A Conscious Choice for Body Parts

The fuel filler flap is offered as a used part, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality. For body parts such as fuel filler covers, choosing a used component allows you to:

• maintain original BMW origin,
• achieve a better fit than many aftermarket replacements,
• reduce repair costs while maintaining appropriate quality.

Fuel Filler Covers and Fuel System – Practical Information

A functional fuel filler flap is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also a means of protecting the filler from dirt and moisture. A well-sealing cover reduces the risk of dirt getting into the area around the cap, which is important for the long-term operation of the fuel system.
