Intended Use and BMW Fitment

This fender has been specifically designed for BMW F20 and F22 models, taking into account the characteristic front-end geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement on the vehicle is specified as the front right side, ensuring unambiguous intended use and minimizing the risk of incorrect part selection.

Thanks to its construction conforming to manufacturer standards, the fender integrates seamlessly with factory body components such as the bumper, hood, headlights, and trim strips, resulting in correct assembly gaps and stable mounting on the body.

Midnight Blue Metallic B38 Color

The factory color Midnight Blue Metallic B38 is a dark, metallic shade of blue, characteristic of many BMW configurations. The applied metallic paint coating provides depth of color and aesthetically pleasing light reflections on the fender's surface, enhancing visual consistency with the rest of the bodywork.

For body shops and users, the B38 color designation is a significant aid for potential paint matching or correction, reducing the scope of preparatory work and allowing for quicker restoration of the vehicle's visual integrity.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The fender is a structural body component responsible for covering the wheel arch, defining the vehicle's side profile, and protecting the engine bay from dirt. The geometry of its mounting points allows for installation in factory body locations without the need for structural modifications.

The product has a specified weight, which is important for both logistics and the bodywork technician when fitting the part to the vehicle. The appropriately selected material thickness and profiling contribute to maintaining proper rigidity in the wheel arch area and stability of connections with adjacent panels.

Condition, Origin, and Identification

The fender is a used part, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and may show signs of wear typical for this class of component. For professional workshops and individual customers, it is important that this is a BMW branded part, ensuring dimensional accuracy with the vehicle's factory specifications.

The product has assigned identification markings, including the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitate verification of compatibility with specific equipment versions and model years. Additionally, an SKU designation is available, useful for order processing and communication with the sales department.

Practical Application and Benefits of Installation

Installing an original front right fender allows for the restoration of correct body geometry after a collision or corrosion of the original part. Proper alignment with the doors, hood, and bumper minimizes the need for additional fitting work, which is particularly important in professional body shops.

For the end-user, maintaining a consistent vehicle side profile and correct wheel arch line is crucial, impacting both aesthetics and the protection of suspension components from dirt and moisture. Installing an original part from the Front Fenders category helps preserve the vehicle's value and reduces the risk of fitting issues in future repairs.
