Purpose and Fitment

The hood is designed as a body part mounted on the front of the vehicle, maintaining the factory body lines characteristic of the LCI version. The original geometry of the panel translates to proper alignment with the fenders, grille, headlights, and hood latch, which facilitates gap adjustment and restoration of the car's original front-end geometry.

Thanks to its construction compliant with manufacturer standards, the part allows for the preservation of the front body's factory rigidity and proper cooperation with existing mounting points and hinges.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Paint Finish

The hood is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, which is one of BMW's popular dark metallic paints. This shade allows for an aesthetic replacement of the part on vehicles with the same paint code, limiting the scope of any potential paintwork to correction or shade matching with the other body panels.

The metallic finish provides a characteristic depth of color and complements the styling of the 3 Series, emphasizing the dynamic character of the vehicle's front end.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The hood comes from a used vehicle, meaning it is an original component with its factory construction and mounting system preserved. This type of part is a cost-effective solution for accident repairs or restorations where preserving the original body structure and compatibility with other parts is a priority.

Choosing a used OEM hood often allows for a reduced scope of fitting work compared to aftermarket alternatives, while maintaining the visual and structural consistency of the car's front end.

Application in Body Repairs

The part is particularly suitable for situations where a hood replacement is necessary after a collision, mechanical damage, or significant corrosion. Thanks to its factory dimensions and intended placement on the vehicle by the manufacturer, installation can be carried out using standard bodywork and painting procedures.

The hood also provides a good solution for restoration projects where it is important to maintain the original character of the E90/E91 LCI model and consistency with other BMW body parts.
