Intended Use and BMW Fitment

The rear left door handle has been designed for BMW F10 and F01 series models, adhering to factory assembly standards. Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as the rear left side, which simplifies selecting the correct part during body repairs.

Thanks to its construction, which aligns with solutions used by BMW, the handle ensures proper fitting with the door panel, stable mounting, and correct interaction with the lock mechanism and internal linkages.

Sophistograu Grey Metallic A90 Color

The finish in Sophistograu Grey Metallic A90 allows for an aesthetic match with the factory body paint in this color. The metallic coating gives the element an elegant appearance and, at the same time, reduces the need for additional painting during repairs, provided the vehicle has the same paint code.

Choosing a handle in the correct color is particularly important for spot repairs where visual consistency and minimizing the scope of bodywork and painting are crucial.

Functional Characteristics and Installation

As an element in the Door Handles category, the product is responsible for convenient and repeatable door opening, as well as proper force transfer to the lock mechanism. The design intended for a specific placement on the vehicle simplifies installation and minimizes the risk of door geometry issues.

The used condition of the part allows for economical repair while maintaining original BMW specifications. This is a good solution for drivers who want to restore full door functionality without investing in new body parts.

Reference Numbers and Technical Compatibility

The handle has a dedicated OEM part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with specific equipment versions and vehicle years. This allows for precise matching of the element to a given BMW model, using manufacturer catalogs or professional parts selection tools.

The presence of multiple reference numbers increases the scope of compatibility within the F10 and F01 series, which is particularly useful when repairing vehicles from different markets and production variants.

Application in BMW Body Repairs

The element is suitable for both replacing a damaged handle after a collision and for completing missing components after bodywork. Maintaining the original body geometry and color scheme contributes to user comfort and the vehicle's value on the secondary market.
