Purpose and function of the component

The described cover belongs to the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group and is dedicated to the rear body section of the hybrid-electric BMW i3 I01. It is responsible for shielding the filler/charging socket area from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage, while simultaneously streamlining the vehicle's side profile.

This element is particularly important for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• replacing missing components after disassembly,
• restoring the visual consistency of the car after painting or panel replacement.

Color scheme and visual fit

The cover comes factory-finished in the distinctive Solar Orange Metallic / Frozen Grey - B78 color, used in BMW i3 versions with contrasting accents. This allows for maintaining a uniform paint shade in the rear area without the need for additional painting, provided it is correctly matched to the bodywork.

The precise fit of the shape to the body lines of the BMW i3 I01 ensures that, after installation, the panel forms a seamless surface with adjacent body elements, without unnatural gaps or misalignments.

Technical characteristics and installation

The cover is an original BMW component, designed specifically for use in the rear section of the i3 I01 model. The design is intended for installation in the factory location, which facilitates service work and limits the need for additional modifications.

• Placement on the vehicle: rear – filler/charging socket area,
• compatibility with factory hinges and opening mechanism,
• preservation of original geometry and body lines.

The item comes from the aftermarket, allowing for economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Application in service practice

The filler/charging socket cover in the BMW i3 I01 is often replaced after collisions, parking damage, or during intensive urban use. Choosing an original panel in the correct color significantly shortens repair time and reduces costs associated with painting.

To correctly select the element for a specific vehicle, it is worth using the OEM number and interchangeable numbers visible in the technical specifications section – this facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and model year.
