Purpose and function of the component

The presented lock cylinder is dedicated to the front right door in selected BMW 3 Series E90/E91 models. It is responsible for the correct locking and unlocking of the door, working in conjunction with the factory door handle mechanism and central locking system. By maintaining the original mounting geometry and body shape, the component ensures a proper fit with the door panel and stable operation of the entire system.

Color and body matching

The lock cylinder is finished in the factory Alpinweiss 3 - 300 shade, which facilitates the aesthetic replacement of a damaged part without the need for additional painting. For users concerned with visual body consistency, this is important both for appearance and potential vehicle resale. Using the original color minimizes the risk of shade differences between the door and other body panels.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The component is intended for installation in the front door on the right side of the vehicle, which is crucial when selecting parts within the same body generation. Proper placement on the vehicle affects:

• correct operation of the door opening and closing mechanism,
• compatibility with the factory exterior door handle,
• maintenance of tightness and proper door alignment within the body frame.

Thanks to a design compliant with factory BMW standards, installation is predictable for a workshop or an experienced user, without the need for bodywork modifications.

Characteristics of the original BMW part

Original BMW components from the Doors and door panels group are designed for precise fitment to a specific body generation and to maintain appropriate structural rigidity. Using such a component instead of an aftermarket replacement allows you to maintain:

• structural consistency of the door with the rest of the body,
• proper cooperation with factory seals and guides,
• an appropriate level of operational safety during daily vehicle use.

The used nature of the part allows for economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Application in repairs and upgrades

This type of lock cylinder is suitable for both standard repairs of damaged doors and for replacing components after body and paint work. It can also be used in body refreshment projects where the priority is to maintain the original appearance of the vehicle and the correct operation of access mechanisms.
