Vehicle Application and Function

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear right door of BMW X5 and BMW X6 generation E70/E71. It is responsible for the mechanical and central locking of the door leaf, cooperating with the vehicle's factory closing system. A correctly selected part in this area is crucial for:

• maintaining the correct door position relative to the body while driving,
• stable closing and opening without excessive play,
• proper operation of the central locking system and comfort systems.

Construction and Fitment for BMW X5 / X6 E70 E71

The lock is designed as an OEM part for the E70/E71 platform, thus maintaining factory mounting geometry and operating characteristics. This means:

• compatible spacing of mounting points in the rear right door,
• adapted for cooperation with the factory external and internal door handles,
• preservation of the correct operating direction of the mechanism for the right side.

Such a fitment minimizes the need for modifications and allows for installation in place of a worn or damaged lock while preserving original functionality.

Benefits of Using an Original Door Lock

Using a factory lock in the BMW X5/X6 E70/E71 maintains the integrity of the entire locking system. In practice, the user gains:

• stable operation of the locking mechanism with repeated opening and closing of the door,
• proper cooperation with the vehicle's electronics (central locking, comfort functions),
• preservation of the factory level of passive safety in the rear door area.

A part from this group is particularly important in vehicles subjected to intensive use, where mechanical wear or damage due to door overloading is frequent.

Condition and Service Application

The offered lock comes from a BMW vehicle and is a used part, making it an attractive service solution for users seeking factory-origin parts at a reasonable price. It is suitable for both typical replacement of a worn lock and for post-accident repairs where restoring full functionality to the rear right door is necessary.
