Purpose and function of the component

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the BMW X1 E84 model and is mounted in the rear part of the body, in the fuel filler area. It is responsible for the aesthetic closure of the filler cavity and for protecting the fuel cap and filler neck from external contaminants. Thanks to its factory origin, the correct dimensional tolerances are maintained, which translates into proper fitment with the fender and the opening mechanism.

Color and paint matching

The Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 color is a characteristic metallic shade used by BMW, distinguished by its depth and uniform pigment distribution. Using an originally painted flap allows you to reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting the component, which shortens repair time and reduces the risk of color differences between individual body panels.

Characteristics of the used part

The item is offered as a used part, which in practice represents a favorable compromise between repair costs and maintaining factory build quality. The flap comes from disassembly, ensuring it retains its original geometry, factory mounts, and proper paint structure. In the case of body components, this is significant for both durability and the subsequent alignment of gaps between panels.

Benefits of using an original fuel filler flap

Using an original fuel filler flap in Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 ensures:

• a consistent look for the rear body section without visible color differences,
• proper operation of the fuel filler cavity opening and closing mechanism,
• preservation of factory body lines and even gaps between elements,
• reduction of repair costs by using a used part instead of a new one.
