Purpose and function of the fuel filler flap

The presented flap is dedicated to the BMW X1 E84 model and is an integral part of the rear body structure. It is responsible for protecting the fuel filler from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage, while maintaining the styling lines characteristic of this model. Thanks to its compatibility with the factory mounting points, the installation process is predictable and consistent with the vehicle's design.

Color and matching of the Mineral White Metallic - A96 paint

The Mineral White Metallic - A96 finish is one of the popular shades used on the BMW X1 E84, which helps to reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting during accident repairs or minor bodywork corrections. Matching the color to the rest of the bodywork ensures a cohesive look for the vehicle and facilitates the work of painters and body technicians, who can focus on precise installation rather than time-consuming color matching.

Installation characteristics and application in the rear of the vehicle

The fuel filler flap is designed for installation in the rear body zone, at the location of the factory fuel filler. The component's design is prepared to work with the original opening and closing mechanism, allowing for the maintenance of operational ergonomics and proper sealing of the filler area. The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original geometry and compatibility with the BMW body.

Benefits of using an original BMW flap

Using an original fuel filler flap for the BMW X1 E84 ensures:

• factory fitment to the shape of the fender and body lines,
• color consistency with the Mineral White Metallic - A96 paint,
• proper operation with the factory opening mechanism,
• maintenance of the vehicle's aesthetics and value after body and paint repairs.

For workshops and users, this means reduced adaptation work and a predictable final result after installation.
