Purpose and fitment

The presented handle is dedicated to the BMW 3 Series E36 Saloon and Touring body types and is mounted on the rear right side of the vehicle. The design, consistent with factory BMW solutions, ensures proper fitment with the door panel and correct operation with the locking mechanism.

The component has been designed as part of the original door opening system, which helps maintain the technical integrity of the entire assembly and reduces the risk of installation issues.

Primed finish

The handle comes in a primed finish, which allows the painter to precisely match the color to the specific body paint. This type of finish facilitates:

• achieving a uniform surface with the rest of the bodywork,
• professional preparation for base coat and clear coat application,
• reducing additional work related to sanding down old coatings.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an item from the Door handles group, the product is responsible for the convenient and consistent opening of the rear right passenger door. The design, intended for the factory mounting system in the BMW 3 Series E36, allows for installation in place of a worn or damaged handle without the need for body modifications.

The used condition means that the part comes from dismantling, which in practice allows for maintaining the original geometry and operating characteristics of the mechanism, while simultaneously reducing repair costs compared to new components.

Benefits of using an original BMW handle

Using an original rear right handle for the BMW 3 Series E36 translates into several significant benefits:

• Factory fitment – maintaining the correct body line and proper seating in the door aperture.
• Visual consistency after painting – the ability to perfectly match the color thanks to the primed finish.
• Reduction of installation problems – no need for modifications to mounts or the locking mechanism.
• Economical repair – a used component allows for lower costs while maintaining the original specification.
