Purpose and function of the component

The fuel filler flap in the BMW F01 is responsible for covering the filler neck, protecting against contaminants, and maintaining the consistent side line of the vehicle body. The presented cover is prepared for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the factory location, while maintaining the original mounting points and body geometry. A properly selected cover in this area of the body limits the risk of moisture and dirt entering the area around the fuel filler, while simultaneously maintaining a uniform paint appearance across the entire side surface of the car.

Moonstone Metallic X04 color and visual matching

The Moonstone Metallic – X04 finish is characteristic of selected BMW configurations and allows for consistency with the factory body paint. Thanks to this, replacing the flap after mechanical damage or corrosion can be carried out without the need for additional painting of the entire element, provided that the remaining body parts are in good condition. Selecting a cover in the same metallic shade is particularly important for spot repairs, where the consistency of the shade, structure, and gloss of the paint coating with the remaining body panels is crucial.

Installation and operational characteristics

The fuel filler cover for the BMW F01 has been designed as an element mounted in the rear part of the vehicle, using factory hinges and the opening mechanism. The construction provided by the manufacturer allows for:

• maintaining the correct geometry of the gaps between the flap and the fender,
• proper operation of the opening and closing mechanism,
• stable seating within the bodywork without additional modifications. The element comes from dismantling, which means it is a used but original part, retaining factory construction parameters and intended for further use after proper installation.

How to choose the right fuel filler flap

To correctly select a fuel filler flap for the BMW F01, it is worth paying attention to several key technical aspects:

• compatibility with the body generation (F01 series),
• placement in the rear part of the vehicle,
• appropriate paint color Moonstone Metallic – X04,
• type of mounting mechanism and hinge used. Proper selection of the element allows you to avoid problems with shape mismatch, differences in paint shade, or incorrect operation of the opening mechanism. When selecting used components, manufacturer markings and visual comparison with the dismantled part can also be helpful.
