Purpose and fitment

The handle has been designed as a component dedicated to the rear right door in BMW F01 LCI and F02 LCI models. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear passenger-side section ensures proper fitment with the door panel and correct operation with the lock mechanism and linkages. Thanks to the factory geometry of the mounts and guides, the handle works with the original structural elements of the door, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of additional bodywork modifications or adjustments.

Color and finish

The finish in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 is characteristic of many high-end BMW body configurations. The metallic structure of the paint ensures an aesthetic appearance and good visual matching to the vehicle's factory paint, which is particularly important for local post-accident repairs or spot replacement of components. Choosing a handle in the same paint code often allows for minimizing or completely avoiding paintwork, provided the condition of the coating is satisfactory in relation to the rest of the body.

Technical characteristics and installation

The component belongs to the Door handles group, which means it is structurally prepared to withstand the loads associated with daily opening and closing of the door, as well as to work with the factory lock and door seals. Its placement in the rear right part of the vehicle determines the shape, radii of curvature, and the routing of internal mounts. As a part sourced from BMW dismantling, the handle retains its original geometry and proportions, which promotes precise alignment with the body line. With proper installation, it is possible to achieve the factory gap line between the handle and the door panel without the need for additional adjustments.

Practical application and benefits

Replacing the rear right handle is particularly important after mechanical damage, scratches, or cracks that may affect the comfort of using the door and the aesthetics of the side of the body. Using an original BMW component allows for maintaining the stylistic consistency of the vehicle and preserving the proper operation of the opening mechanism. The main benefits of using this handle include:

• maintaining the factory look of the side body section,
• matching the existing Black Sapphire Metallic paint,
• compatibility with the factory lock mechanism and door mounts,
• possibility of reducing the scope of body and paint repairs.

Condition and origin

The handle comes from a dismantled BMW vehicle, which means it is a used part that retains its factory construction and mounting parameters. For many users, this is a beneficial solution when the priority is technical fitment and compliance with the original specification, while simultaneously reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new component.
