Purpose and Fitment for BMW E93 / E93N LCI

The presented fuel filler flap is a factory body component dedicated to the facelifted (LCI) E93 generation BMW 3 Series Cabrio. The design of the part is prepared for installation in the original mounting points, which allows for maintaining correct gaps between the body and the flap, as well as the proper geometry of the vehicle's side line.

Original BMW origin promotes visual consistency with other body panels, as well as compatibility with the standard fuel filler opening and closing mechanism. Thanks to this, the flap can be used both for accident repairs and for replacing a worn or damaged part.

Spacegrau Metallic - A52 Paint Color and Finish

The part is finished in the factory color Spacegrau Metallic - A52, characteristic of many BMW E93 3 Series models. The metallic paint finish ensures consistency with the original body appearance, and the proper surface preparation during production promotes even light reflection and aesthetic matching with adjacent panels.

For users who own a vehicle with the same paint code, using this flap allows for limiting the scope of painting work, which is beneficial both in terms of time and cost. In case of a different body color, the part can serve as a solid base for repainting according to individual requirements.

Functional Characteristics and Installation

As a part from the Fuel Filler Caps and Accessories category, the flap serves a protective function for the fuel filler, shielding the cap and the area around the filler from dirt and atmospheric influences. A correctly installed flap supports the sealing of the filler area, which is important for the durability of fuel system components within the body.

Used condition means that the part comes from disassembly, which in practice allows for maintaining the original geometry and fit typical of factory-installed parts. Before installation, standard visual inspection and fitting to the specific vehicle instance are recommended, taking into account the body version and year of manufacture.

Technical Support and OEM Selection

The fuel filler flap has an original BMW part number and associated replacement numbers, which facilitates precise identification of the component in manufacturer catalogs and parts selection systems. Selection by OEM number or reference numbers is particularly important when working with E93N LCI facelift versions, where body details may differ from earlier variants.
