By using an original decorative trim strip, you can:

• minimize the risk of assembly issues,
• maintain visual consistency with other body components,
• preserve the characteristic look of the BMW 5 Series side section.

Technical support and vehicle development

The selection of appropriate body components is important not only for aesthetics but also for utility – properly fitted components limit the ingress of dirt and moisture around the door edges. In the case of more extensive modifications or repairs, it is also worth paying attention to other vehicle sub-assemblies, such as the drivetrain or suspension.
