Purpose and fitment for BMW E90 / E91 LCI

The trim has been designed for the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation post-facelift (LCI) body, with the vehicle placement specified as front, left side. Thanks to its factory profile, it matches the shape of the windshield and the pillar, which facilitates installation and helps maintain the body line consistent with the manufacturer's original design.

This component is particularly useful when replacing a damaged, deformed, or corroded trim, as well as during bodywork and paint repairs where maintaining proper alignment with the windshield and other body components is required.

Schwarz 2 - 668 color and aesthetic finish

The Schwarz 2 - 668 finish allows for a uniform, dark line around the windshield, which is both visually and practically significant (less visible minor dirt). This shade is consistent with the factory BMW palette, ensuring the trim blends well with other body elements without the need for additional color matching.

Using an original trim in the correct color reduces the risk of shade differences and improves the overall appearance of the vehicle after repair or component replacement.

Characteristics of the pre-owned part

The presented trim is a pre-owned part, which offers a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality. Choosing this solution is beneficial for maintenance repairs where maintaining proper installation and appearance is key, without the need to invest in a new component. Its original origin promotes proper fitment with the windshield and bodywork, which is important for sealing and reducing unwanted wind noise while driving.

Application in the windshield area

The windshield trim serves a finishing and protective function in the windshield area, contributing to:

• aesthetic closure of the windshield edge on the left pillar side,
• limiting the ingress of debris into the space between the windshield and the body,
• maintaining the correct body line after body repairs or windshield replacement.

Thanks to the correct profile and fitment for the specific BMW model, the installation process is straightforward, and the final result is close to the factory finish.
