Purpose and Function of the Door Handle

The presented door handle is dedicated for installation in the rear left part of the BMW F45 series body, which guarantees compatibility with the door line and correct interaction with the lock mechanism. The element is responsible for convenient door opening from the outside, while also being a visible part of the vehicle's side zone, influencing the overall aesthetics of the car.

The original construction of the door handle ensures:

• proper alignment with the door panel,
• stable mounting to factory mounting points,
• maintenance of the correct geometry for the opening mechanism.

Mediterranean Blue Metallic – C10 Color

The finish in Mediterranean Blue Metallic – C10 is characteristic of selected BMW F45 configurations and allows for an aesthetic replacement of the handle without the need for full repainting of the element from scratch. The metallic paint coating blends well with the door contours, emphasizing the side line of the body.

For owners of vehicles in this shade, this means:

• easier maintenance of color consistency,
• reduction in the scope of painting work,
• a more professional visual effect after repair.

Mounting Characteristics

The door handle is designed as an external door element, intended for use with the factory lock mechanism in the BMW F45. By maintaining the original geometry, it is possible to utilize existing mounting points and standard structural solutions in the rear left door.

With proper installation, the following are achieved:

• smooth operation of the opening mechanism,
• no excessive play or unwanted noises during operation,
• proper adhesion of the handle to the door surface.

Condition and Origin of the Part

The offered door handle is a used part, sourced from a dismantled BMW vehicle. This type of part is a cost-effective solution when a damaged handle needs replacement while maintaining the factory character of the body. A used OEM component allows for the preservation of original styling and proper fit to the door construction.
