Lock Purpose and Function

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear left side of the BMW F07 GT body and works with the comfort door closing system (soft close).

Thanks to its design, adapted to the factory BMW system, the lock integrates with the vehicle's electrical system, central locking, and safety system, maintaining the original functionality of the vehicle with an automatic transmission.

The lock has been developed as an OEM part, meaning full compatibility with the factory mounting points and the door geometry of the BMW F07 GT. Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as rear – left side, which facilitates the selection of the correct component for body or locking system repairs.

The factory design ensures:

• correct interaction with the inner and outer door handle mechanism,
• integration with the central locking system and comfort access system (if present in the vehicle),
• stable door locking while maintaining appropriate closing force.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Use

The part originates from a BMW vehicle and is offered as a used OEM door lock. This type of part is a good choice for vehicle servicing when you want to maintain the original lock design, proper integration with electronics, and correct soft close function without the need for aftermarket replacements.

Using an original lock in the BMW F07 GT allows you to:

• maintain the consistency of the door locking and closing system,
• minimize the risk of fitting issues with the rear left door mechanism,
• preserve the operating comfort characteristic of BMW models with automatic transmissions.

Application in Service Practice

This left rear door lock is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for resolving faults related to incomplete closing, lack of locking, or incorrect soft close function. Thanks to its factory design, it can be installed as a direct replacement for a damaged part, without the need for door modifications.
