Intended Use and Vehicle Placement

The door stop is designed for installation on the rear axle of the body, with the possibility of use on both the right and left sides. This placement allows for precise guidance of the door in the final stage of opening, limiting excessive door leaf swing and reducing the risk of damage to the bodywork or hinges.

Thanks to its compatibility with the construction of the BMW E36 series sedan and wagon versions, the part works with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for the preservation of the original door kinematics.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The door stop is responsible for controlling the door leaf's movement in several key areas:

• stabilizes the door's position at selected opening points,
• prevents sudden opening of the door leaf to its maximum angle,
• reduces the load transferred to the hinges and door panels,
• improves user comfort during frequent opening and closing.

As a component from the Doors and Door Panels group, the door stop forms part of a complete mechanical system responsible for safe door operation, contributing to the ergonomics of vehicle use in urban and workshop conditions.

Condition of the Part and Benefits of Use

The offered door stop is a used part, allowing for economical repair while maintaining factory-like characteristics. Replacing a worn or damaged part with a functional component of this type:

• eliminates uncontrolled door dropping or "slipping" when opening,
• reduces noises resulting from play in the mechanism,
• minimizes the risk of door edges colliding with adjacent vehicles or obstacles.

Application in BMW Service and Repairs

The rear right or left door stop is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs to the rear doors,
• restoration of door mechanics after years of use,
• restoring full body functionality in used vehicles.

Due to its specific fit for a particular BMW generation, the part helps maintain the structural integrity of the door system, which is important for both user comfort and the durability of the entire hinge and door panel assembly.
