Technical specifications and intended use

The presented item is a complete door shell from the Doors and door panels category, dedicated to the BMW 3 Series F31 Touring body style, mounted on the rear axle on the right side of the vehicle. The original construction ensures that factory hinge mounting points, locks, and window guides are preserved, facilitating a perfect fit to the existing bodywork without the need for modifications.

The door is in used condition, sourced from vehicle dismantling, which allows for an economical yet technically sound repair of the side body section. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where maintaining consistency with the factory body line and passive safety parameters is crucial.

Glacier Silber Metallic A83 color and installation benefits

The component is factory-painted in the Glacier Silber Metallic A83 shade, a popular color used on the BMW 3 Series F31. For many vehicles in this color, this means the possibility of limiting paintwork to just polishing or minor touch-ups, depending on the visual condition of the specific car.

Choosing a door in the same paint code often allows you to:

• minimize the scope of full-surface painting,
• maintain color consistency between the door panel, the fender, and the rear quarter panel,
• reduce vehicle downtime at the workshop.

For users who care about the aesthetics of the bodywork, this is a practical way to restore a consistent look to the side of the car while keeping repair costs reasonable.

Original fit for BMW 3 F31 Touring

As a component designed for a specific BMW model, the door retains the factory stampings, window lines, and edge shapes matched to the rear fender and rocker panel. As a result, after proper installation, it is possible to achieve even panel gaps and ensure the correct operation of the lock and seals.

In practice, this means:

• easier door alignment relative to the body on the hinges,
• proper seal adhesion, reducing noise and water ingress,
• preservation of the factory side line characteristic of the BMW 3 Series Touring.

For body and paint workshops, a used original panel is often the preferred choice over aftermarket replacements with less precise geometry.

Practical application and repair area

This body component is suitable for repairing damage resulting from side collisions, parking incidents, or local corrosion. Replacing the entire rear right door often allows you to avoid time-consuming spot repairs and body filler work, which translates into a more predictable final result.

Why choose a used original component

When repairing the body of a BMW 3 Series F31 Touring, choosing a used, original door often represents a reasonable compromise between cost and quality. Factory fitment, compatibility with the body line, and the potential to limit paintwork make such a component an attractive alternative to new parts.
