Purpose and fitment for BMW E87 / E87N

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the compact BMW 1 Series E87 and E87N generation models. This ensures the retention of factory mounting points, proper contouring relative to the fender, and compatibility with the standard fuel filler opening and closing mechanism. As a result, this component can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing a missing flap during body restoration.

Karmesinrot – A61 color and visual aspect

The flap is finished in Karmesinrot – A61, a distinctive, deep shade of red used in original BMW paints. For vehicle owners with this color, this means the ability to maintain visual consistency without the need for additional painting, or with only minimal adjustments to match the current condition of the vehicle's paintwork. It is a practical solution for local body repairs where both aesthetics and turnaround time are important.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an item from the Fuel filler flaps and accessories category, the flap serves a protective function for the fuel filler, shielding the cap and the filler area from external contaminants. The design is adapted to the standard opening system used in the BMW E87/E87N, which facilitates installation and allows for the use of existing vehicle solutions. The product comes from disassembly, which in practice means it retains the original geometry and fitment typical of factory-installed parts.

Application in body and paint repairs

The Karmesinrot – A61 fuel filler flap is particularly useful in situations where it is necessary to replace a damaged component after a collision or during local repairs in the rear fender area. Using an original BMW part helps limit the scope of paint work and makes it easier to achieve an even body line. It is a practical choice for body and paint shops as well as individual users who expect proper fitment and compliance with factory standards.
