Purpose and fitment

The presented door is designed as a body component mounted in the rear section, on the right side of the vehicle. Thanks to its factory construction, the correct mounting points for hinges, the lock, and window guides are preserved, which facilitates proper alignment with the fender, rocker panel, and pillar.

Its original BMW origin helps maintain proper side rigidity and compatibility with factory seals, fittings, and equipment transferred from the old door.

Color and outer layer

The door comes in the factory shade of Sonora Metallic - A23, characteristic of selected BMW 1 Series E87 configurations. The metallic paint coating provides a visually consistent effect with other body elements in the same color, which in many cases allows for limiting paint work to local matching or polishing.

For users concerned about body aesthetics, this means the possibility of restoring a uniform side line without the need for a full repaint of the entire side of the vehicle, provided the condition of the coating and shade differences after installation are acceptable.

Characteristics of the used component

The door comes from an operated vehicle, which means it may show signs of normal wear typical for body components of this class. At the same time, the preserved OEM construction allows for:

• restoring the correct geometry of gaps between the door and adjacent panels,
• using original mounting points for equipment,
• transferring equipment from the previous door (according to the specific car's configuration).

This type of solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and vehicle restoration, where maintaining the factory body structure is essential.

Application in BMW E87 repairs and restorations

Replacing the complete rear door on the right side is a frequently chosen solution for mechanical damage, edge corrosion, or deformations after a collision. Using an original element from the Doors and door panels group allows for shorter repair times compared to extensive straightening and filling of the existing panel.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side body area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as door skins, reinforcements, or door frames, check the available parts in the BMW Doors and door panels category.

Support for selection and upgrades

For restoration or upgrade projects, especially in the case of older BMW 1 Series models, used body components are increasingly used to preserve the car's original character and optimize costs. It is worth paying attention to the body version compatibility, placement on the vehicle, and base color, which facilitates subsequent paint work.
