Purpose and fitment for BMW E90 / E91

The presented bonnet has been designed as a body component mounted at the front of the vehicle, maintaining the factory mounting points and geometry characteristic of the BMW 3 Series E90 and E91. This ensures proper alignment with the fenders, radiator grille, headlights, and the bonnet lock, which facilitates gap adjustment and correct height setting.

Its original BMW origin helps maintain the factory body lines, as well as compatibility with standard equipment components – seals, lift supports, and the locking mechanism. As a result, the bonnet is a functional solution for both accident repairs and the replacement of worn-out body parts.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color and aesthetic value

The bonnet is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, which is one of BMW's popular dark metallic paints. This shade effectively masks minor dirt while highlighting the body lines and the characteristic contours of the 3 Series bonnet.

For the user, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of paint work – in many cases, simple alignment and polishing are sufficient to achieve a visually consistent effect with the rest of the bodywork. It is a practical solution for repairs where both appearance and service cost control are important.

Characteristics of the used component

The bonnet comes from the secondary market and is offered as a used body component. Such parts are frequently chosen for bodywork repairs because they allow for the preservation of the original BMW construction while reducing costs compared to new components.

In practice, this means that the bonnet may show signs of wear typical for body parts, but its structure remains functional and ready for further use on the vehicle after proper installation and any necessary cosmetic work.

Benefits of using an original BMW bonnet

Using an original 3 Series bonnet provides a range of technical and practical benefits:

• preservation of the vehicle's factory front geometry and correct body line alignment,
• compatibility with standard mounting and sealing components,
• reduction in the scope of painting thanks to color compatibility with the BMW palette,
• possibility of economical repair using a used part.

For body shops and individual users, this means predictable installation and easier achievement of the factory look of the vehicle's front end after repair.
