Purpose and fitment

The presented handle is dedicated to BMW 3 Series F30/F31 generation models and is designed as a component mounted on the rear right door. Proper profiling and factory mounting points allow for precise fitting to the door panel, without the need for modifications or adjustments required by universal parts. Using an original design promotes the proper operation of the door opening and closing mechanism in daily use.

Color and finish Glacier Silber Metallic A83

The handle is finished in Glacier Silber Metallic A83 paint, a characteristic silver shade used by BMW. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which reduces the need for additional painting after installation, provided the vehicle has the same color code. As a result, the element fits well into the car's stylistic line, maintaining a uniform appearance of the side of the body.

Functional characteristics and installation

As an original BMW door handle, this component has been designed for stable operation under typical vehicle operating conditions. The handle construction allows for a secure grip when opening the door, and the proper shaping of the outer surface facilitates operation for both the driver and passengers. The product belongs to the Door handles category, which means it is designed to work with the factory lock mechanism and linkages in the BMW 3 Series F30/F31 doors.

The used condition allows for an economical replacement of a damaged component while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In practice, this means the ability to restore full door functionality without the need to invest in a new component, while maintaining compliance with the factory assembly standard.

Practical application and benefits of replacement

Replacing the rear right exterior door handle is particularly important in the case of mechanical damage, problems with opening the door, or visible paint defects affecting the vehicle's aesthetics. Using an original BMW component allows you to:

• maintain a consistent look of the side of the body thanks to the matched Glacier Silber Metallic color,
• maintain the correct operation of the door opening mechanism on the rear passenger side,
• minimize the risk of mismatching, typical for aftermarket parts with a universal design,
• reduce repair costs by choosing a used part of factory origin.
