Purpose and Compatibility

The offered fuel filler flap cover is dedicated to BMW 7 Series models of the E65, E66, and E67 generation, which are luxury executive sedans. The part is designed as an integral part of the original body system, thus maintaining the correct geometry, character lines, and mounting method characteristic of this generation.

The cover works with the factory opening and closing mechanism of the flap, allowing for proper operation of the lock, hinge, and sealing around the fuel filler neck. As a result, no adaptation or body modification is required after installation.

Paint Color and Matching

The part is finished in the color Oxfordgruen Metallic - 430, also known as Oxford Green 2 Metallic, which was factory-applied to BMW 7 Series models of this generation. The metallic paint finish ensures visual consistency with other body panels, which is particularly important for accident repairs or spot renovations.

By maintaining the correct paint shade, the need for additional full part repainting is reduced, shortening repair time and facilitating the maintenance of a uniform vehicle appearance.

Functional Characteristics

The fuel filler flap serves a protective function for the refueling neck, shielding it from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. A correctly selected part:

• maintains the seal of the fuel filler area,
• ensures proper alignment with the body lines,
• minimizes the risk of corrosion around the filler opening,
• restores the aesthetics of the car's side panel.

As part of the Fuel Filler Flaps and Accessories group, it is intended for direct replacement of a damaged or missing flap, without interfering with the fuel tank structure or the fuel system.

Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered part is used, allowing for an economical repair while maintaining the original origin of the part. For premium class vehicles like the BMW 7 Series, using a used flap in the factory color often allows for a better visual match than aftermarket replacements that require full repainting.
