The outer profile is adapted to the side line of the BMW F30/F31 body, ensuring that after installation, the component creates a seamless surface with the door panel.

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 finish provides an aesthetic, understated look characteristic of factory BMW paints. This shade effectively masks minor dirt and is a preferred choice for post-accident repairs and when replacing individual body components.

• preservation of the vehicle's original styling line,
• color consistency with Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 paint,
