Purpose and compatibility with BMW E92 / E93 LCI

The presented right side skirt is a body component dedicated to the BMW 3 Series E92 (coupe) and E93 (convertible) in the LCI version (post-facelift). Its placement on the passenger side allows for precise fitting to the factory mounting points, without the need for modifications or adaptations. This ensures the correct geometry of the sill area and proper alignment of the side body line.

Color and finish – Mineral White Metallic A96

The strip is factory-painted in the Mineral White Metallic – A96 shade, one of BMW's popular premium-class paints. The metallic white harmonizes well with the body contours, highlighting the characteristic profile of the sills and giving the vehicle a cohesive, aesthetic appearance. Using the original color significantly facilitates matching the component to the existing body paint, which in many cases allows for reducing or completely eliminating the need for repainting.

Technical and functional characteristics

As a component from the Side Skirts group, this right strip performs several important technical and functional roles:

• protects the lower edge of the body in the sill area against road debris, minor impacts, and weather conditions,
• visually stabilizes the side line of the vehicle, ensuring a seamless transition between the front and rear wheel arches,
• enables proper airflow along the side of the car, which is important for body aerodynamics,
• ensures compatibility with factory BMW mounting elements, which facilitates service and potential future repairs.

Its original BMW origin means maintaining the correct rigidity, geometry, and quality of the materials used, which translates into stable mounting and predictable behavior of the component during operation.

Use in body repairs and restoration

The used right side skirt in Mineral White Metallic is particularly suitable in situations where mechanical damage or corrosion has occurred in the sill area, as well as for post-accident repairs. Replacing it with an original component allows you to:

• restore the correct appearance of the side body section,
• maintain compliance with BMW factory specifications,
• reduce costs compared to purchasing a new, unpainted strip and its full paint preparation.

This solution is recommended for both body and paint shops as well as individual users who want to restore the vehicle's factory condition in an organized and technically correct manner.
