Purpose and fitment for BMW E60 / E61 LCI

The flap is designed for BMW 5 Series E60 and E61 models after the facelift (LCI), specifically for placement in the front bumper area. The design matches the factory dimensions and geometry of the towing eye opening, allowing for secure seating in the bumper without the need for modifications. The appropriate edge profile and mounting system ensure the flap remains stable during daily vehicle use.

Color and finish Monacoblau Metallic - A35

The component is finished in Monacoblau Metallic - A35, a color characteristic of select BMW paint configurations. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which in many cases allows for reducing or completely skipping additional painting. This is particularly beneficial for quick visual repairs of the vehicle's front after minor collisions or bumper replacements.

Technical characteristics and installation

The front bumper towing eye flap is a body component mounted in the Front area, designed to protect the towing socket from dirt and improve the aerodynamics and appearance of the bumper. Thanks to its design, which complies with BMW factory solutions, installation is intuitive – once properly aligned, simply snap the component into the prepared socket in the bumper. The used nature of the part allows for an economical restoration of the exterior body's completeness while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.
