Purpose and function of the component

The presented fuel flap cover is dedicated to the rear body area of the BMW F01 series and is an integral part of the fuel filler assembly. It is responsible for the aesthetic closure of the filler cavity while protecting the cap and the surrounding area from external contaminants. Thanks to its factory shape and dimensions, it ensures proper alignment with the fender line and the trunk lid, which is important for both visual and functional reasons.

Color and paint matching

The component is finished in Mineral White Metallic - A96, a color characteristic of the BMW paint palette. The metallic white provides a modern, elegant look and complements both chrome and dark body details well. For vehicles painted in the same color code, it is possible to maintain color consistency across the entire bodywork, which limits the scope of any potential paint work after installation.

Installation characteristics

The fuel flap cover is designed as a body part mounted in the rear of the vehicle, using factory mounting points. The design provided by the manufacturer allows for:

• maintaining the correct geometry of the gaps between the cover and the fender,
• seamless operation with the fuel filler opening mechanism,
• stable seating in the original cavity without structural modifications.

As a result, this component can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing a worn or damaged cover as part of standard body maintenance.
