Technical specifications of the BMW E81 E87 hood

The presented hood is structurally adapted to the engine compartment of BMW 1 Series E81 and E87 models, intended for installation in the front part of the body. The panel geometry, crease lines, and edge profiles are consistent with the manufacturer's original design, which facilitates achieving even gaps with the fenders, bumper, and radiator grille. As a result, after proper installation, it is possible to maintain the factory aerodynamics and correct airflow in the engine compartment area.

Schwarz 2 - 668 color and visual fit

The hood is finished in Schwarz 2 - 668, a color characteristic of many BMW vehicles from this production period. For users who own a vehicle in this shade, this significantly simplifies the selection of the body part – in many cases, it reduces the scope of necessary paintwork. At the same time, visual consistency with the remaining body panels is maintained, which is important both for aesthetics and for the potential resale of the vehicle.

Purpose, installation, and application

The hood is designed for installation in the front part of the body, replacing the factory engine cover. The construction, based on the original BMW design, allows for the use of standard mounting points, hinges, and the latch, which facilitates the work of a body and paint shop. The used component will prove particularly useful in situations such as:

• repairs after a collision in the front part of the vehicle,
• replacing a corroded or mechanically damaged hood,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition after body modifications.

Thanks to the preservation of the original panel geometry, it is possible to precisely align the hood with the other body elements, which affects the comfort of use and reduces the risk of improper closing.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The hood is offered as a used part, which represents a favorable compromise between the cost of repair and maintaining the original build quality. In practice, this means the possibility of using a factory BMW body panel while reducing expenses compared to a new component. For many users and workshops, this is a rational solution for accident repairs, restorations, or preparing a car for further use.
