Purpose and Function of the Part

The presented fuel filler flap is dedicated to the rear body section of the BMW F06 series, where it is responsible for covering the fuel filler neck and maintaining the continuity of the car's side profile. This element serves both a protective function, shielding the filler area from dirt and external factors, and an aesthetic one, integrating with the rear fender and trunk lid.

Thanks to its factory-matched geometry to the BMW body, the flap ensures proper alignment with the hinge and opening mechanism, which translates to predictable operation during daily vehicle use.

Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 Paint Color and Matching

The Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 finish is characteristic of many BMW configurations, especially in versions with a more elegant, understated character. The metallic black with a subtle pearl effect allows the flap to blend harmoniously with the body line without visible tonal differences when the vehicle's paint is properly maintained.

For users looking to minimize painting work, using a part with the same paint code significantly simplifies the replacement process – in many cases, only standard surface preparation and installation are required, without the need for full painting of the part.

Assembly and Usage Characteristics

The fuel filler flap for the BMW F06 is designed as a body part mounted in the rear area of the vehicle, taking into account factory mounting points. The appropriate geometry and edge profile allow for correct gap alignment with adjacent panels, which is important for both aesthetics and aerodynamics.

As part of the Fuel Filler Caps and Accessories category, this element works with the factory opening mechanism and the vehicle's central locking system (if equipped with such a system), providing convenient access to the fuel filler while maintaining an appropriate level of security.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Using a Used Part

The offered flap is a used part, sourced from a dismantled BMW vehicle. Using an original part of this type allows for maintaining factory fitment, proper rigidity, and alignment with the body line, which is particularly important for collision repairs or replacing damaged body panels.

Choosing a used body component is often an economically advantageous solution while preserving the original manufacturer's specifications. For many BMW owners, this is a sensible compromise between repair costs and maintaining the vehicle's cohesive appearance.

Compatibility and Selection by Manufacturer Markings

Selecting the correct fuel filler flap for the BMW F06 should be based on manufacturer data, such as the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers. This allows for verifying the part's compatibility with the specific body version and model year of the vehicle, minimizing the risk of installation issues or shape differences.

In case of doubt, it is useful to compare the markings with the service documentation or BMW parts catalog, which helps confirm that the offered flap meets the requirements of a specific car instance.
