Fuel Tank Cap for BMW X5: Aluminium Alloy
This fuel tank cap for the BMW X5 is specified around aluminium alloy, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench, or a supplier who changed material without saying so. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
