Bluewater Metallic - 896 paint finish

The handle is coated in Bluewater Metallic - 896 paint, characteristic of specific BMW X3 E83 configurations. The metallic coating gives the body a cohesive, aesthetic look and blends well with the vehicle's side profile. For owners who care about visual continuity of the bodywork, this is a particularly beneficial solution, reducing the need for additional painting.

Selecting a component in the correct shade allows for minimizing color differences between the handle and other body panels, which translates into a more professional result after repairing or replacing a damaged component.
