Purpose and fitment for BMW 1 Series E81/E87

The hood has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E81/E87 generation architecture, ensuring proper fitment with fenders, the bumper, headlights, and the hood latch. Its original origin translates into:

• maintaining factory body lines and panel gaps,
• proper cooperation with hinges and the locking mechanism,
• compatibility with factory sealing elements and sound insulation.

Technical and functional characteristics

The hood is mounted in the front part of the body, serving a protective function for the engine compartment and auxiliary components. The OEM construction ensures appropriate rigidity, which is important for both passive safety and the vehicle's aerodynamic stability at higher speeds.

This used component allows for an economical repair of the vehicle's front end following a collision or corrosion, while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs where compliance with factory mounting points is essential.

Quarzblau Metallic - A18 paint finish

The hood is finished in Quarzblau Metallic - A18, characteristic of selected BMW 1 Series configurations. The metallic shade ensures consistency with the bodywork in the same paint code, which facilitates visual matching without the need for a full repaint of the entire front end.

Selecting a component in the correct color limits the scope of paint work, which reduces repair time and costs. In many cases, only corrective work and polishing are sufficient to achieve an aesthetic final result.

Component condition and use in repairs

The hood comes from disassembly, meaning it is a used part that retains the structural functionality required for further operation. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs of the vehicle's front end,
• restoring the car to a technically sound condition after mechanical damage,
• economical body restoration while maintaining original BMW specifications.

Support in selection and additional technical information

The component has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific version of the BMW 1 Series. If necessary, it is worth comparing the markings with the vehicle documentation or using professional advice when selecting parts.
