Intended Use and Fitment for BMW F01

The presented cover is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW 7 Series F01 limousine. Its placement in the rear area means this part is responsible for shielding the fuel filler neck and visually completing the vehicle's side line. Thanks to its OEM construction, correct mounting gaps, hinge geometry, and compatibility with the factory flap opening mechanism are preserved.

Color and Finish – Mineral White Metallic A96

The cover is factory painted in the Mineral White Metallic A96 shade, characteristic of BMW's premium vehicles. This metallic paint ensures:

• color consistency with originally painted body parts,
• aesthetic matching with the side and rear lines of the vehicle,
• the possibility of installation without immediate repainting (after verifying shade compatibility with the rest of the bodywork).

For owners of BMW F01 in this color, this is a practical solution for accident repairs or replacing a damaged fuel filler flap.

Technical Characteristics and Role in the Fuel System

The fuel filler flap serves a protective and functional role – it shields the cap and the area around the filler neck from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. For the BMW F01, this is a part integrated with the body line, so its correct fitment affects:

• comfort of daily refueling (stable opening and closing),
• overall sealing of the fuel filler area,
• maintenance of the vehicle's original side profile appearance.

As a used OEM part, the cover retains its original geometry and mounting method, which facilitates installation in place of a damaged part without structural modifications.
