BMW Fill-In Flap Primed - Genuine BMW 41007238058

Product Information

A Fuel Filler Door (also called a gas door, fuel door, or fuel lid) is the small hinged cover on the exterior of a vehicle that protects and conceals the fuel filler neck and cap. It is usually located on the rear quarter panel or fender and provides access to the fuel tank for refueling while keeping dirt, debris, and moisture away from the filler neck.

• Door won’t open or close properly – caused by a broken hinge, latch, or release mechanism.
• Loose or misaligned door – it may not sit flush against the body, rattling while driving.
• Fuel smell or dirt ingress – if the door or its latch is damaged, it can allow contaminants or moisture near the filler cap.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
