Upper Air Flap Grill Shutter (with Motor) – BMW 3 Series G20 (19–22)

SKU: 51749465188
R 2,500.00

The Front Upper Radiator Active Air Shutter with Actuator Motor is an original equipment dynamic thermal regulation component designed for seventh-generation BMW 3 Series models. Positioned directly behind the front kidney grilles and in front of the main radiator core, this complete assembly includes the motorized shutter louvers along with the pre-installed electronic drive actuator motor.

Engineered to optimize aerodynamic efficiency and engine warm-up times, the DME-controlled actuator rotates internal vertical slats closed at high speeds or during cold starts to reduce drag coefficient ($C_d$). As engine coolant or air conditioning thermal load increases, the motor opens the louvers to supply direct airflow to the cooling stack. Standard front-end collisions, debris strikes, or internal actuator gear binding can trigger check engine light (CEL) fault codes, stored active grille motor fault codes, or cooling fan run-on conditions, necessitating a complete plug-and-play assembly replacement.
