Purpose and fitment

The presented door is dedicated to BMW E46 series models and has been designed as a component mounted on the front, right side of the body. Proper placement on the vehicle ensures correct fitment with the fender, rocker panel, pillar, and seals, which translates into proper closing, tightness, and noise reduction in the cabin.

The original BMW OE origin means maintaining factory geometry, hinge and lock mounting points, and compatibility with factory equipment such as the window, seals, door wiring harness, or upholstery.

Color and paint finish

The door is in Silbergrau Metallic - A08 color, which makes it easier to match the existing vehicle paintwork. Using the original metallic shade allows in many cases to limit the scope of paint work to a minimum or focus only on local color matching.

For body shops and individual users, this means saving time and costs associated with full painting of the component, while maintaining a consistent body appearance.

Technical characteristics of the component

As a part from the Doors and door panels group, the product is responsible for maintaining proper lateral body stiffness, correct lock operation, and safe window guidance. The design provides for the installation of factory hinges, lock, handle, window guides, and other door components, which facilitates the transfer of equipment from the old part.

The door is in used condition, which is typical for original body parts dismantled from donor vehicles. This allows for maintaining factory material and construction quality while keeping a favorable price-to-functionality ratio.

Application in body repairs

The component will work well both for post-accident repairs and for replacing doors due to corrosion or mechanical damage. Thanks to factory mounting points, it is possible to precisely set the gaps between the door and adjacent panels, which is important for the correct operation of the lock, seals, and acoustic comfort in the interior.

In workshop practice, using original doors for the BMW E46 shortens the time of fitting and adjustment, and also reduces the risk of problems with closing or leaks after the repair is completed.
