Purpose and Fitment

The presented right front door is structurally prepared for installation in the side body area of BMW F12/F13, considering factory mounting points for hinges, locks, and seals. Its placement on the vehicle, specified as front – right side, ensures correct geometry relative to the fender, sill, and pillar, which is crucial for proper closing and sealing.

The Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 color is a distinctive dark metallic BMW paint that can minimize the scope of painting work when replacing the part. In many cases, a touch-up and polish are sufficient to achieve a seamless transition between adjacent body panels.

Technical and Structural Characteristics

The door belongs to the Doors and Door Panels group, meaning it serves as a load-bearing side body panel designed to work with factory reinforcements, window guides, and hardware. The OEM construction ensures:

• maintenance of factory gaps between body elements,
• proper interaction with original locks and hinges,
• adequate lateral rigidity in the door area.

Its original BMW origin promotes precise alignment with the body lines, which is important for both safety and interior acoustics (reducing wind noise at higher speeds).

Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 Color and Painting Aspects

The finish in Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 is a dark, metallic paint often used in versions with a more dynamic, elegant character. This allows the door to blend well with the styling of the BMW F12/F13 body, especially in configurations with sport packages or distinctive design lines.

Choosing a part in this color allows you to:

• minimize the need for full repainting,
• focus on local shade matching to the rest of the car body,
• expedite the repair process and reduce labor costs.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The part is offered as used, which translates to significant savings compared to a new part while retaining the original BMW construction. This type of door is suitable for both post-accident repairs and replacements due to corrosion or wear and tear.

By preserving the original panel geometry, it's possible to restore the original body lines without the need for aftermarket parts with uncertain fitment. This solution is particularly beneficial for body and paint shops and for owners who expect consistency with the original vehicle specifications.
