Application and Fitment for BMW E90 / E91

The presented fuel flap is specifically designed for the body construction of the BMW 3 Series E90 and E91 generations. This ensures adherence to factory shapes, correct hinge geometry, and appropriate edge profiling, resulting in a proper fit with the fender and the fuel filler socket cover.

Thanks to the use of an original mounting solution, the part integrates with the standard opening and closing mechanism, ensuring the flap's correct functionality in daily use. This is particularly important for body repairs where both visual consistency and the functionality of the fuel filler system are crucial.

Schwarz 2 - 668 Color and Visual Appeal

The factory Schwarz 2 - 668 color is a classic, deep black used on many BMW 3 Series models of this generation. Using the original paint shade can minimize or even eliminate the need for repainting, provided the current finish is acceptable in comparison to the rest of the body.

Choosing a flap in the same paint code facilitates:

• maintaining a uniform color in the fuel filler area,
• minimizing shade differences visible in daylight and artificial light,
• expediting the body repair process after minor collisions or mechanical damage.
