Purpose and Function of the Part

The fuel filler flap in the BMW F07 GT is responsible for covering the refueling neck and aesthetically completing the side body line. Located in the rear section of the vehicle, it works with the flap mechanism and filler seal, limiting the ingress of dirt and the impact of atmospheric conditions on the fuel filler area.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the part maintains proper gaps relative to the fender and bumper, which is important both visually and for the correct operation of the opening mechanism.

Titansilber Metallic - 354 Paint Color and Match

The Titansilber Metallic - 354 finish is characteristic of many BMW F07 GT configurations and allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged flap without the need for immediate painting of the entire panel. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the vehicle's factory paint, making it easier to maintain a uniform appearance of the side body.

In the case of body and paint repairs, using an original flap in the same shade minimizes the risk of color and texture discrepancies compared to adjacent parts.

Installation Characteristics

The flap is prepared for installation on the rear body of the BMW F07 GT, maintaining factory mounting points and edge shape. This allows for the use of existing hinges, opening mechanisms, and mounting elements, simplifying the installation process in a service or body shop environment.

The original geometry facilitates correct alignment of the flap with the car body, resulting in even gaps, proper closure, and stable positioning during vehicle operation.

Condition and Service Application

The part is a used component, making it an attractive solution for accident repairs, cosmetic corrections, or replacement of a damaged fuel filler flap. Using an original flap helps maintain the structural integrity of the body and reduce costs compared to purchasing a new component.

This solution is particularly beneficial for localized repairs where the priority is to restore full fuel filler functionality and the aesthetics of the side body without affecting other body panels.

Technical Support and Parts Selection

The fuel filler flap is part of the refueling system, so for comprehensive work on the fuel system, it's worth considering the condition of other components as well.
