Purpose and Fitment for BMW E90 E91 LCI

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the facelifted BMW 3 Series E90/E91 body. This means maintaining the factory geometry, correct sheet metal bending radius, and appropriate edge profile, which translates to proper alignment with the fender and opening mechanism.

Thanks to the use of the original design, the part works with the standard hinge and opening spring, ensuring correct closing and stable flap position during vehicle operation.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Paint Finish

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 is a distinctive, metallic shade of black used as standard by BMW, valued for its understated yet expressive appearance. Using the same paint code can reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting when replacing a part on a body of the same color.

The metallic structure of the coating promotes even distribution of light reflections on the flap's surface, making it easier to achieve a consistent visual line with adjacent body panels and improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

Functional Characteristics and Installation

As a part from the Fuel Filler Flaps and Accessories category, the flap serves a protective function for the fuel filler, safeguarding the cap and filler neck from external contaminants. A properly selected flap reduces the risk of water, mud, and road salt entering the filler neck area, which contributes to maintaining the fuel system's seal.

The product is a used part, which in practice means a favorable combination of original manufacturing quality with an attractive price compared to new parts. Replacing the flap is a typical service operation in case of mechanical damage, scratches, or corrosion of the original part and can be performed in a standard body and paint shop.

Benefits of Using an Original Fuel Filler Flap

• Factory Fitment to the Body – maintaining the correct body line and proper adhesion to the fender.
• Color Consistency – Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 paint allows for aesthetic integration with a body of the same shade.
• Protection of the Fuel Filler Area – safeguarding against dirt, moisture, and atmospheric factors.
• Economical Solution – a used OEM part is a sensible choice for accident repairs or spot body corrections.
