Purpose and Function of the Part

The presented plug is a finishing part for the fuel filler flap, used in BMW 1 Series E82 and E88 body styles. It is responsible for the aesthetic closure of the area around the filler neck and simultaneously helps maintain the correct alignment of the flap relative to the fender panel. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, the element works well with the hinge and opening mechanism, ensuring repeatable and secure closing.

Paint Color and Matching

The part is finished in the factory color Bluewater Metallic, characteristic of many BMW 1 Series models. The metallic shade ensures consistency with the body lines, and the precise profiling of the edges allows for a smooth transition between the flap and adjacent body panels. In practice, this means a reduced need for additional painting during repairs, provided the car retains its original color.

Original Origin and Technical Specifications

The plug comes from the BMW production line, which means compliance with factory dimensional and assembly standards. Original mountings and the shape of the working surfaces facilitate installation in place of a damaged part, without the need for modifications or adjustments. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which simplifies compatibility verification by manufacturer identifiers.

Condition and Service Application

The part is offered as a used item, making it a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, visual corrections, or supplementing missing body details. Such components are often used in body and paint shops and in the construction of used cars, where both technical compliance and cost control are important.

Assistance with Selection and Additional Information

To correctly select the part for a specific vehicle, it is advisable to use the OEM number or interchangeable numbers, along with the vehicle's body data.
