Purpose and function of the component

The presented lock cylinder cover is part of the exterior door handle mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the area where the lock cylinder is located, while simultaneously protecting the mechanism from direct exposure to external factors. Thanks to the factory design, proper alignment with the door line and other handle components is maintained.

Color and paint matching

The component is painted in the Montegoblau Metallic – A51 shade, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series E90/E91 models. Choosing a cover in the same paint code allows you to reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. For owners who care about the visual consistency of the bodywork, this is a particularly beneficial solution.

Technical characteristics and installation

The cover is structurally matched to the front right door, which facilitates installation in place of the original part. As a component from the Door handles group, it works with the factory handle and lock mechanism, maintaining the original functionality and stylistic line of the body. Installation involves seating the element in the designated handle slot, without the need for modifying the door structure.

Condition and service application

The part comes from disassembly and is intended for service applications, such as replacing a damaged, cracked, or missing cover. Choosing an original used component allows you to maintain compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications while reducing repair costs compared to new components.

Body repair applications and related products

The door handle lock cover is suitable for both local repair of a damaged handle and broader bodywork and paint jobs on the right side of the vehicle.
