Purpose and fitment

The presented handle is designed as a component mounted on the rear left door of the vehicle, which guarantees proper geometry, mounting points, and grip ergonomics. Thanks to its factory origin from the BMW range, the appropriate dimensional tolerances are maintained, facilitating installation in place of a worn or damaged part without the need for modifications.

The handle is part of the original door opening system, which is why it works with the factory lock mechanism and other door components, ensuring proper mechanical and functional operation.

Color and finish

The Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 color is a characteristic, metallic shade of graphite used in many BMW models. Using a handle in the same paint code allows for minimizing color differences between the component and the door panel, which is important for post-accident repairs or replacing individual body components.

The metallic finish blends well with the styling line of the BMW E87, maintaining the consistent visual character of the vehicle. Replacing the handle with a part in the correct color is beneficial both in terms of aesthetics and the potential resale value of the car.

Functional characteristics

As a component from the Door handles group, the handle is responsible for convenient and repeatable door opening from the outside. The construction provided by the manufacturer ensures stable mounting to the door panel and appropriate rigidity during daily use.

The used nature of the part means that the item comes from disassembly, which in practice allows for combining a favorable purchase cost with the preservation of the original BMW specification. This is a solution often chosen for repairs where compliance with the factory standard and cost reduction compared to new components are important.

Benefits of using an original handle

• Factory fitment for the rear left door in the BMW E87, with no modifications required.
• Color consistent with the Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 paint code, which makes it easier to maintain a consistent body appearance.
• Original construction from the BMW range, ensuring compatibility with the lock mechanism and other door components.
• A reasonable choice for post-accident and maintenance repairs when functionality and aesthetics are important.

Condition and service application

The part is used, making it an economical alternative to new components while maintaining the manufacturer's original specification. Such components are often used in professional body and paint workshops and services specializing in the BMW brand, where structural compliance and proper fitment with the body are essential.

The handle will work well both for local repair of a single door and for broader body renovation work when it is necessary to replace several exterior elements.
