Purpose and fitment

The presented handle has been designed for the rear right part of the body in BMW F30/F31 series models. This ensures proper profiling to the shape of the door, correct placement of mounting points, and compatibility with the factory opening mechanism. As a result, the component maintains the ergonomic grip characteristic of BMW and provides convenient access to the rear seat row.

Color and finish Melbourne Red Metallic - A75

The Melbourne Red Metallic - A75 color is a dynamic, metallic shade of red, often found in versions with a sportier character. Using an original paint in the same color code helps minimize shade differences between the handle and other body parts, which is particularly important for local post-accident repairs or the replacement of individual components.

For painters and bodywork specialists, a precisely defined paint code facilitates potential color matching, and for the end user, it means an aesthetic, consistent vehicle appearance without the need for full repainting of the entire door.

Technical characteristics and installation

The handle belongs to the Door handles group, meaning it has been constructed to withstand the loads associated with daily opening and closing of the door. The design provides for cooperation with the factory lock and internal door mechanism, as well as proper force distribution during use.

• Placement on the vehicle: rear, right side of the body,
• Adapted to the standard BMW F30/F31 door opening mechanism,
• Geometry adjusted to the factory door line and bodywork contours.

Such a configuration facilitates service installation – after properly preparing the door and checking the internal mechanism, the handle can be seated in place of the factory component without the need for modifying the door structure.

Component condition and service application

The offered handle is a used component, which in practice means it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of wear consistent with the age and mileage of the car. For many users and workshops, this is a reasonable service solution – it allows for reducing repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications and proper fitment to the body.

Such a solution works particularly well in situations involving:

• local post-collision repairs,
• replacing a damaged handle without interfering with the door structure,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition after previous non-factory modifications.

Support with selection and additional information

Before purchasing, it is worth verifying the compatibility of the handle with the specific equipment version and model year of your BMW by using the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers in the specification section. This allows you to avoid installation problems and ensures full compatibility with your vehicle.
