Purpose and Fitment for BMW F12/F13

The offered part is a complete front passenger-side door, ready for installation in the BMW 6 Series F12 (convertible) and F13 (coupé) body. Its placement on the vehicle is identified as front – right side, ensuring unambiguous identification of the mounting position, which simplifies selecting the correct component during accident repairs or restorations.

As a part from the Doors and Door Panels group, this element serves as the structural base for glass, seals, lock, hinges, and electrical systems, allowing for the transfer of existing hardware from the old door while maintaining factory geometry and mounting points.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 Color and Painting Benefits

The door is finished in the original Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color, characteristic of many higher-class BMW configurations. The metallic black provides an elegant, understated look to the bodywork and pairs well with chrome and dark styling accents.

For body and paint shops, as well as users, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of painting work – in many cases, local shade matching and polishing will suffice, rather than fully painting the entire panel. This translates to shorter repair times and a more predictable visual outcome.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The front right door for BMW F12/F13 has been designed as a structural body component responsible for:

• maintaining the correct lateral stiffness of the body,
• proper window operation and cabin sealing,
• precise alignment with the fender, sill, and B-pillar.

The original edge geometry and factory mounting points for hinges and the lock facilitate the alignment of gaps between body panels and correct closing adjustment. This allows for achieving even gaps and proper seal adhesion, which contributes to acoustic comfort and protection against moisture.

Used Condition and Service Application

The part is in used condition, making it an attractive cost-effective solution while maintaining original structural quality. This type of door is particularly useful for:

• accident repairs involving damage to the side panel,
• vehicle restorations where door edge corrosion has occurred,
• restoring a car to a near-factory condition after local body repairs.

A used body part allows for reducing the amount of filler and straightening work, as it is based on the factory sheet metal structure, which is beneficial for both durability and aesthetics.
