Technical specifications and fitment

The presented hood is an original BMW OE component, designed specifically for the 1 Series E81/E87. The construction of the hood is compatible with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and ensures proper alignment with the fenders, radiator grille, and front bumper. This preserves the geometry of the vehicle's front end, which is essential for both safety and proper hood closure.

The item comes from the Hoods group, meaning it was designed as a load-bearing exterior panel above the engine, working in conjunction with the factory lock, hinges, and lift supports. The appropriate structural rigidity promotes stability at higher speeds and reduces panel vibration.

Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color

The hood is finished in the factory Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color, characteristic of sport-styled BMW models. The metallic paint coating provides color depth and attractive light refraction on the hood's contours, which emphasizes the dynamic line of the car's front.

For users who own a car in the same shade, such a component can significantly reduce the scope of paint work. In many cases, only fitting and potential polishing are required to achieve a visually consistent effect with the remaining body panels.

Condition and use in repairs

The hood is in used condition, which is typical for original parts dismantled from donor vehicles. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs when the priority is to maintain factory geometry, the correct profile of contours, and compatibility with other front-end components.

In practice, such a hood will prove useful in situations where the existing hood has suffered mechanical damage, corrosion, or deformation. Replacing it with an original panel from the same model group facilitates bodywork and allows for shortening the time required to prepare the vehicle for painting and final assembly.

Benefits of using an original BMW hood
