Purpose and function of the lock

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear right side of the BMW Gran Coupé F-series body, where it is responsible for mechanical locking and unlocking of the door. The component works with the factory opening mechanism from both the inside and outside, as well as with the central locking system, ensuring consistent operation of the entire passenger cabin access security system. Its placement in the rear right section of the body allows for the preservation of the original geometry of guides, rods, and mounts, which translates into smooth opening and secure closing of the door without the need for additional modifications.

Advantages of using an original BMW lock

Using a factory lock in a BMW Gran Coupé F-series allows for maintaining the structural integrity and passive safety of the vehicle. The original geometry of the housing and mounting points minimizes the risk of play, rattling, or improper door fitment against the seals, which is essential for both acoustic comfort and body sealing. Key benefits include, among others:

• maintaining proper cooperation with the factory central locking system,
• stable door locking upon closing,
• correct operation of handles and rods on the rear passenger side,
• reduction of installation error risks due to perfect fitment to original mounting points.

Installation characteristics

The lock is intended for installation in the rear right part of the body, which facilitates the identification of the correct component during repair or replacement. The design provided by the vehicle manufacturer allows for installation in place of the factory lock without the need to interfere with the door sheet metal, wiring harness, or mounts, which shortens service time and reduces the risk of leaks. The component belongs to the Locks and Latches group, ensuring compatibility with other door locking system components in the given model, such as rods, handles, or internal mechanisms.

Condition and service application

The offered lock is a used component, making it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, door service after mechanical damage, or when replacing a worn-out mechanism. Choosing an original component from disassembly allows for maintaining the proper operating parameters of the locking system while reducing costs compared to a new part. It is suitable for both professional workshops specializing in the BMW brand and independent service centers that expect good fitment and predictable operation of the lock mechanism in daily vehicle use.
