Purpose and Function of the BMW X5 E70 Fuel Filler Flap

The presented fuel filler flap has been designed specifically for the BMW X5 E70 model and is mounted on the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for protecting the fuel filler from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage, while maintaining the vehicle's body lines and the characteristic appearance of the X series.

Thanks to the factory color Spacegrau Metallic - A52, the part allows for a uniform paint surface without the need for additional shade matching, provided that the other body panels are in the same paint code.

Technical Parameters and Mounting Fitment

The fuel filler flap belongs to the group of body elements mounted on the rear of the vehicle, which is important when selecting the correct component in relation to the geometry of the fender and the filler neck recess. The construction is prepared to work with the factory opening and closing mechanism, ensuring that functionality is maintained according to the manufacturer's standard after proper installation.

The color designation Spacegrau Metallic - A52 is important for verifying compatibility with the vehicle's paint – it allows for reducing the scope of painting work or eliminating it entirely if the coating condition is acceptable relative to the rest of the body.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered fuel filler flap is a used part, sourced from dismantling. This type of part is a cost-effective solution for accident repairs or operational replacements when maintaining original geometry and compatibility with the BMW body is a priority. A used component allows for cost reduction compared to a new part, while retaining its original origin.

Choosing an original, dismantled fuel filler flap is particularly important for vehicles where maintaining visual consistency and proper fit with the fender line, bumper, and other body panels is crucial.

• factory fit to the body shape and fuel filler recess,
