BMW X3 G01 2018- Hood (Aluminum)

Description

The GBT aluminum hood is a body part for BMW X3 G01 from 2018 onward, used to replace a damaged hood after an accident or corrosion. It’s a full-fledged aluminum hood panel, i.e. the same lightweight material BMW uses to make the hood for this body; the part number on the page is 41002459937.

Which BMW X3 the hood fits

The hood is designed for the G01 body, produced from 2018. It will not fit earlier X3 generations — E83 (2003–2010) and F25 (2011–2018) — because they have a different hood and grille shape. 2018 is a transition year, so before ordering, confirm the body by VIN or send the manager a photo of the front end.

For vehicles after the 2022 facelift and for the X3 M (F97) version, the manager will confirm fitment by photo — these options are not listed separately on the page. The standard version and the M Sport package G01 differ primarily in bumpers, so the main criterion for them is one — the G01 body.

Why aluminum and how it differs from a carbon hood

• Aluminum is lightweight and doesn’t rust like steel, so the panel isn’t prone to corrosion along the edges.
• The shape matches the OEM part, so after replacement the car looks factory.
• If the goal is not repair but tuning, for the same body there is the carbon hood V1 made of real carbon fiber, which is left with the weave visible.

What to consider when replacing the hood

Replacing the hood is a standard bodywork job. The new hood is painted to match the car and the gaps to the fenders and headlights are set, because they affect how evenly it closes. From the old hood, the attached items are usually transferred: the emblem, sound insulation, seals, and small hardware — check what of this is present on your part before disposing of it.

If you’re updating the front end along with the hood, take a look at the M-Look kidney grilles in gloss black. Other body parts for this generation are in the BMW X3 G01 body parts section, all hoods are on the BMW X3 G01 hoods page, and the rest of the accessories are in the BMW X3 G01 tuning section.

How not to make a mistake with your order

1. Check the generation: you need exactly G01 from 2018.
2. For 2022 and newer vehicles or X3 M, send the manager a photo of the front end.
3. Compare part number 41002459937 with the part number your body shop technician selected for your body.
4. Plan for painting and fitting — the hood is installed together with them.
