Stratus Grey Metallic – 440 color and aesthetic qualities

The factory Stratus Grey Metallic – 440 color is a distinctive metallic shade of gray used by BMW, which blends well with the lines of the Z4 E85 body. Using an original paint finish on the fuel flap allows you to:

• maintain a uniform shade on the rear part of the body,
• minimize the need for additional painting,
• preserve the consistent, factory character of the car.

For owners who care about the look of their car, this is a practical solution that helps reduce body and paint repair costs while maintaining high visual quality.

Characteristics of the used component

The product comes from dismantling and has a used status, which means it may show signs of normal wear typical for body parts. This type of part is a good choice when you want to maintain original BMW quality at reasonable repair costs. A used fuel flap is also a beneficial solution from the perspective of reusing components and reducing waste.

Function and role of the fuel flap

The fuel flap in the BMW Z4 E85 is responsible not only for the aesthetic finish of the rear bodywork but also for protecting the fuel filler from dirt and weather conditions. A correctly selected element:

• ensures proper closing and protection of the filler cap,
• reduces the risk of dirt and moisture entering the filler area,
• maintains the correct side and rear lines of the vehicle.

By using an original cover from the Fuel filler covers and accessories category, you preserve the factory functional and visual parameters, which is important both for daily operation and for the potential resale of the vehicle.

Part selection by numbers and technical support

The element has a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates precise identification and selection of the correct flap for a specific version of the BMW Z4 E85. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the markings with the vehicle documentation or the existing element to ensure full installation compatibility.
