Description
This is a genuine BMW fuel flap actuator for the BMW E46, supplied under OEM number 67116923973 with hardware reference 406.204/3/11. It is the small electric actuator that operates the locking pin for the fuel filler flap as part of the vehicle’s central locking system.
Its job is to lock and release the fuel flap in sync with the car’s locking system, helping protect the filler area and allowing normal access during refueling. When working correctly, it extends or retracts the locking mechanism smoothly so the flap opens and secures as intended.
Common signs of a faulty unit include a fuel flap that stays locked, does not lock with the rest of the vehicle, opens inconsistently, or requires repeated locking and unlocking attempts. In some cases, the actuator motor may become weak, stick internally, or fail to move the locking pin fully.
This is a used original part, removed from a vehicle and tested before sale. Match 67116923973 and 406.204/3/11 exactly before ordering. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct operation of the locking mechanism and surrounding trim components.
Returns accepted only for genuine faults — faulty on arrival, not as described, or wrong part supplied — requested within 14 days, with all 3 anti-tamper stickers intact. No returns for change of mind, incorrect installation, coding/programming, or buyer compatibility errors; checking compatibility (OEM number, firmware, vehicle) is the buyer’s responsibility.
