Purpose and fitment for BMW E81/E87

The presented lock cylinder cover is a part from the Door handles category, dedicated to BMW 1 Series E81 and E87 models. It is installed on the front right door, on the exterior part of the handle, where the lock cylinder is located. The design, based on the original BMW blueprint, guarantees proper alignment with the door line and correct interaction with the handle and lock mechanism.

Color and Black Sapphire Metallic finish

The component is painted in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, one of the popular shades used by BMW. The metallic paint coating provides a characteristic depth of color and blends well with other body panels in the same shade. As a result, replacing the cover allows for maintaining the vehicle's visual consistency without the need for additional color matching during installation.

Technical and functional characteristics

The lock cylinder cover serves a protective and aesthetic function within the front right door handle area. It protects the area around the cylinder from external factors and masks mechanical elements, improving the appearance of the side of the body. As a part derived from the original BMW production line, it retains the correct geometry, which facilitates installation in place of the factory component without the need for modifications.

Used condition and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The item is offered in used condition, which allows for combining a reasonable purchase cost with the preservation of original BMW specifications. Choosing such a part is beneficial in situations where the priority is compliance with the factory design, proper fitment, and maintaining the vehicle's original styling line. A used lock cylinder cover can be an effective solution for post-accident repairs, spot renovations, or replacing damaged handle components.

Support with selection and expanding the scope of repair

When selecting the cover, it is worth verifying compatibility with the specific BMW E81/E87 body version and the installation side to ensure proper fitment to the handle and door. In the case of extensive body and paint work on the right side of the vehicle, replacing this element can be part of a broader visual renovation, also covering other exterior components.
