Purpose and function of the component

The fuel filler flap for the BMW F22 is responsible for covering the fuel filler neck and aesthetically closing the fender surface in the rear part of the body. This component works with the factory flap opening and closing mechanism, providing convenient access during refueling and protection against dirt and weather conditions.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the cover maintains the correct edge geometry, which reduces the risk of leaks, rubbing against adjacent panels, and unwanted stress within the paintwork.

Color and paint matching

The offered component is factory-painted in the Mineral Grau Metallic - B39 shade, characteristic of many BMW F22 configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the body's styling line, and the properly selected shade facilitates the replacement of the cover without the need for additional painting of the entire panel.

In practice, this means the possibility of an aesthetic repair after a collision or local damage, while maintaining a uniform appearance of the rear part of the vehicle and a correct tonal transition between adjacent body elements.

Installation and integration with the body

The BMW F22 fuel filler flap has been designed for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle, using factory mounting points. The OEM design allows for:

• proper alignment with the fender line and the rear part of the body,
• compatibility with the original hinge and opening mechanism,
• maintaining the correct gap between the cover and adjacent panels.

This type of solution reduces the time required for adjustment in a body and paint shop and promotes the maintenance of factory assembly parameters.

Characteristics of the used product

The element is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original quality of BMW workmanship. In practice, this means real savings compared to a new component, while maintaining compliance with the factory vehicle specification and full functionality in daily use.
