Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 E46

The offered item is a complete front door for the right side, dedicated to the 3 Series E46 coupe and convertible body styles. The construction is based on BMW's factory geometry, which translates into proper alignment with the fender, rocker panel, pillar, and roofline. This ensures that the correct mounting gap is maintained, as well as proper operation of the lock and hinges after correct adjustment.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color

The door is finished in the original Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color, characteristic of many BMW E46 configurations. For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of painting to the connection points or performing only a coating correction, which shortens repair time and makes it easier to maintain a consistent body aesthetic.

Technical and installation characteristics

The component belongs to the Doors and door panels category, meaning it performs a key structural function in the side part of the body – it is responsible for the correct guidance of the window, cooperation with seals, and proper closing on the lock. The door is prepared for installation at factory mounting points, maintaining the original line of creases and edges.

As a used part from vehicle dismantling, it is a beneficial solution for post-accident repairs where maintaining factory rigidity and sheet metal geometry is important. The original door construction promotes the correct operation of internal mechanisms after transferring equipment from the damaged component.

• maintain the factory side body line without the need for time-consuming adjustments,
