Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 E70 LCI

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the LCI version of the BMW X5 E70, intended for the front right side of the body. This ensures the correct geometry, mounting points, and character lines typical for this model. The original construction guarantees proper fitment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and door, which is crucial for maintaining factory gaps and assembly stability.

Color Black Sapphire Metallic – 475

The fender comes in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, one of the popular, elegant shades used by BMW. For the user, this means:

• easier matching to the vehicle's existing paint,
• reduction in the scope of painting work when replacing the component,
• maintaining a consistent, aesthetic body line. The metallic paint structure harmonizes well with the character of the X5, emphasizing its massive silhouette and giving the body a more dynamic, modern look.

Component characteristics and benefits of installation

The fender belongs to the Front Fenders group, responsible for protecting the wheel arch, guiding the body line, and ensuring the correct seating of adjacent components. Replacing a damaged panel with an original component allows you to:

• restore the correct geometry of the front body section,
• protect the wheel area from dirt and water,
• maintain proper mounting of covers, the headlight, and the bumper,
• minimize the need for additional bodywork modifications. The component comes from the BMW segment, which helps maintain factory quality and construction standards, essential for professional post-accident repairs and renovations.

Condition, origin, and service application

The offered fender is a used part, making it a reasonable choice for repairs where the cost-to-quality ratio is important. Such components are frequently used in body and paint shops for:

• repairs after collisions involving damage to the front right side,
• body renovations in fleet and private vehicles,
• restoring the original appearance after improper previous repairs. Thanks to the preservation of the factory form, the fender works well with original mounts and other body panels, which facilitates installation and subsequent gap adjustment.
