Technical specifications and intended use

The presented flap belongs to the Fuel filler covers and accessories category, responsible for shielding the filler neck and providing an aesthetic finish to the side of the body. The component is factory-profiled to the BMW F46 body line, ensuring proper geometry, mounting gaps, and correct adhesion to the fender.

The Flamenco Red Brilliant Effect – C06 shade is a metallic paint with a distinct, dynamic character, used as standard in selected BMW color configurations. Using the original color reduces the need for additional painting and makes it easier to achieve a consistent visual effect with the remaining body panels.

Function in the fuel system and bodywork

The fuel filler flap serves both a protective and aesthetic function. From the perspective of vehicle operation:

• it protects the fuel cap and filler neck from external contaminants,
• it limits the ingress of moisture and dirt into the filler area,
• it visually stabilizes the side line of the body, maintaining the continuity of the body lines.

A properly selected fuel filler cover is particularly important after collisions, body repairs, or the replacement of components in the rear fender area. Using an original BMW component allows for maintaining compliance with the factory design and avoids issues with fitting aftermarket replacements.

Part selection by OEM number and color

The element has a dedicated OEM part number and associated replacement numbers, which facilitates precise identification in BMW catalogs and when selecting parts by VIN. This allows for verifying compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year, minimizing the risk of purchasing an incompatible flap.

The Flamenco Red Brilliant Effect – C06 color is an essential parameter when matching to existing paint. In practice, this allows for minimizing or completely eliminating the scope of painting work, provided the condition of the coating is acceptable relative to the rest of the body.

Component condition and service application

The fuel filler cover is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original BMW specification. This type of component is suitable both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or damaged exterior body components.

In practice, installation involves transferring the flap to the factory mounting point on the vehicle, while retaining the existing opening and closing mechanism. As a result, the time required to restore full functionality to the fuel filler area is limited, and interference with the body structure is minimal.
