Purpose and fitment for BMW E87

The side skirt has been designed specifically for the compact BMW 1 Series E87, intended for the right side of the vehicle. This ensures the preservation of factory body lines, correct contours, and compatibility with the original mounting points on the sill. The component is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or corroded sill covers.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color

The finish in Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 allows for consistency with the body paint in the same color code. The metallic structure of the paint harmonizes well with the side profile of the BMW E87, reducing the need for additional painting if the car's color matches. This is a beneficial solution for a quick replacement while maintaining factory aesthetics.

Technical characteristics and installation

The side skirt is a body component mounted in the lower part of the side body area, designed to protect the sill and visually complete the side line. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle facilitates the selection of the correct component for one-sided repairs. The design is intended to work with factory brackets and mounts, which promotes installation in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

Used condition and service application

The item is in used condition, making it a reasonable choice for economic repairs where functionality and proper fitment to the body are the priority. This type of part works well for servicing fleet vehicles, daily drivers, and for stage-by-stage body restoration, where the cost-to-visual-effect ratio is important.
