Purpose and function of the BMW X1 F48 fuel filler flap

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the BMW X1 F48 body, ensuring it maintains the correct geometry, bending radius, and attachment method to the standard opening mechanism. It is responsible for covering the fuel filler neck, protecting the filler area from contaminants, and maintaining a consistent surface for the side body panel.

The original BMW construction guarantees:

• proper fitment to the factory socket in the fender,
• compatibility with the standard hinge and opening mechanism,
• preservation of the factory gap and bodywork character lines.

Paint finish and Mineral White Metallic - A96 color

The flap is finished in Mineral White Metallic - A96 paint, characteristic of the BMW palette. The metallic white provides a modern, understated look and harmonizes well with the X1 F48 body line. For users who own a car with the same paint code, this means the possibility of installation without the need to change the shade, and in many cases, minimizing the need for paint work.

The metallic finish promotes even light distribution across the surface, which helps maintain visual consistency with other body elements in this color. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or spot renovation of the side part of the body.

Original BMW origin and identification parameters

The element comes from the BMW production line as an OEM class part, which means compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards regarding material, shape, and mounting method. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and year of the BMW X1 F48.

Thanks to the presence of reference numbers, it is possible to precisely match the flap to the vehicle based on BMW catalogs or selection by VIN, which minimizes the risk of purchasing a non-fitting body element.

Used condition and advantages of choosing an original

The fuel filler flap is in used condition, which allows for combining a favorable purchase cost with the preservation of original BMW quality. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between aesthetics and budget, especially during local repairs after minor body damage.

Choosing an original, used flap instead of a replacement carries a number of benefits:

• factory fitment with the fender and opening mechanism,
• compatibility with the BMW X1 F48 styling line,
• preservation of the original material structure and mounting points.
