Purpose and function of the fuel filler flap

The fuel filler flap in the BMW X3 E83 is responsible for protecting the fuel filler from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. A properly selected component ensures:

• protection of the fuel filler area from dirt and corrosion,
• stable closure and proper operation of the opening mechanism,
• preservation of the body lines in accordance with the manufacturer's design.

Its location in the rear part of the vehicle makes the flap exposed to parking damage and weather conditions, which is why its proper selection is important for both utility and visual reasons.

Rubinschwarz Ruby Black Metallic color – paint matching

The presented flap is finished in Rubinschwarz Ruby Black Metallic - S23 / X03, used as a factory finish in selected BMW X3 E83 units. Thanks to this, if the body paint is in good condition, it is possible to limit or completely avoid additional painting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs.

The metallic black with a ruby tint blends well with the SUV's body lines, emphasizing the model's characteristic look. For body shops and individual users, this means it is easier to achieve a consistent visual effect after replacing the component.

As a component from the Fuel filler flaps and accessories category, the flap is an essential part of protecting the fuel system in the filler area, influencing refueling comfort and the aesthetics of the rear fender.

Used condition – practical benefits

The offered flap is a used component, which in practice means a more favorable repair cost while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. For many BMW X3 E83 users, this is a reasonable compromise between price and maintaining the vehicle's factory appearance. A used body component also allows for reducing waiting time for repairs – especially when you want to quickly restore full functionality to the fuel filler area.

Technical support and component selection

If necessary, you can use the OEM part number or interchangeable numbers visible in the technical specification, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific BMW unit.
