Purpose and Fitment for BMW

The presented engine hood has been designed specifically for the BMW 3 Series E90 and E91 models after the facelift (LCI), ensuring a proper fit with the fenders, bumper, and grille. Thanks to its construction conforming to factory BMW standards, the correct geometry of the vehicle's front is maintained, and the crease lines align with other body elements.

Its placement on the vehicle is the Front, making this part crucial for both aesthetics and the proper closure of the engine bay, as well as its cooperation with the hood latch and hinges.

Bluewater Metallic - 896 Color and Paint Aspects

The hood is in the attractive Bluewater Metallic - 896 color, characteristic of selected BMW 3 Series configurations. For many users, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of paintwork – in many cases, local matching or polishing is sufficient, rather than a full repaint of the entire part.

The metallic Bluewater shade harmonizes well with chrome and dark body accents, allowing for a cohesive, elegant character of the car after front-end repairs.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The hood comes from the Mudguards category in our assortment structure, but functionally it is a fully functional front panel element. As a used part, it offers a sensible compromise between repair cost and maintaining the original manufacturing quality characteristic of BMW.

Choosing a used body part is particularly beneficial for accident repairs, where maintaining factory fitment and structural rigidity is a priority, while simultaneously limiting costs compared to a new part.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Hood

Using an original engine hood for the BMW E90/E91 LCI offers a number of practical advantages:

• factory fit to the body line and front vehicle elements,
• maintaining the proper operation of the hood latch and hinges,
• color consistency thanks to the Bluewater Metallic - 896 paint,
• limiting the scope of body and paintwork compared to aftermarket alternatives.

For users who care about maintaining the original character of their car, choosing such a hood is a technically safe and economically justified solution.
