Purpose and compatibility with BMW 3 F30/F31

The presented handle is dedicated to BMW 3 Series F30/F31 generation models and is mounted on the front left door. The design corresponds to the factory solution used by the manufacturer, which facilitates installation in place of the original component without any modifications. The correct mounting points and handle geometry are preserved, ensuring the handle works seamlessly with the existing lock mechanism and door installation.

Black Sapphire Metallic color – 475

The Black Sapphire Metallic finish allows for a visual match with bodywork painted in the same shade. The metallic paint structure provides the characteristic depth and gloss typical of the factory BMW finish. In many cases, this allows for installation without the need for repainting, which reduces repair time and costs associated with body component restoration.

Functional characteristics and installation

As an item in the Door handles category, the product is responsible for a comfortable grip when opening the door and proper cooperation with the lock mechanism. The external handle is designed to provide a stable handhold and consistent operation during daily vehicle use. Installation takes place in the location of the factory handle, using existing mounting points in the door, which facilitates efficient replacement in a service or body shop environment.

Component condition and service application

The offered handle is a used part, making it an attractive option for post-accident repairs, replacement after mechanical damage, or body restoration in daily-driven vehicles. This type of part allows for maintaining the original vehicle specification while optimizing service costs, especially in the case of older BMW 3 Series models.

Support with selection and repair expansion

The component has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. If necessary, you can compare the markings with service documentation or the existing element in the car to confirm the correct selection of the component for your specific BMW.
