Purpose and function of the component

The described side skirt is dedicated to BMW E81 and E82 series models and is mounted on the right side of the body. As a component of the sill area, it is responsible for protecting the lower part of the bodywork against dirt, stone chips, and minor mechanical damage occurring during daily use. Thanks to its factory profile, it ensures proper alignment of the side line and maintains the original geometry of the body.

Color and paint matching

The strip is finished in Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22, which allows for a visually consistent match with the vehicle's factory paint in this shade. The metallic coating gives the body a subdued, modern character while making it easier to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the side of the car. For an optimal visual effect, installation on a vehicle with the same paint code is recommended.

Technical characteristics and installation

The side skirt has been designed as a component that fits the factory mounting points on the BMW E81/E82 body. The design allows for installation on the right side of the vehicle, which minimizes the need for additional modifications and allows for proper fitment with the doors and other side panels. The product has a specific weight, which is important when selecting body components in terms of durability and handling during installation.

Condition and service application

The component comes from disassembly and is intended for service applications as a replacement for a damaged or corroded side skirt. This type of part is suitable for both post-accident repairs and refreshing the side body area when it is necessary to replace a single element without interfering with the entire sill structure. Choosing an original side skirt allows you to maintain the factory character of the vehicle and ensures proper fitment with the remaining body panels.

Benefits of using an original side skirt

• Factory fitment to the BMW E81/E82 body on the right side, with no need for mounting modifications.
• Consistent Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, facilitating the maintenance of a uniform paint appearance.
• Protection of the sill area against dirt and minor operational damage.
• Can be used in body and paint repairs as a component consistent with the original body line.
