Purpose and fitment for BMW X3 E83 LCI

The offered fuel flap has been designed specifically for the BMW X3 E83 model after the facelift (LCI), with placement in the rear part of the body.

Black Sapphire Metallic 475 color – body consistency

The cover is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, one of the popular shades used by BMW. This means that with proper matching to the body, it is possible to reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting, which shortens repair time and lowers costs.

For vehicle owners with the same paint code, this is a practical solution that allows for maintaining a uniform paint surface without visible shade differences within the rear fender and fuel filler area.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the BMW fuel flap retains the original geometry and construction intended by the manufacturer. This is a beneficial solution for drivers who prefer factory components over aftermarket replacements, expecting predictable installation and proper operation over the long term.

The used nature of the element makes it an economical alternative to new parts, while maintaining the original BMW specification in terms of shape, mounts, and operation in the rear body area.
