Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 Series E90

The presented door has been designed specifically as a component for the rear left side of the BMW 3 Series E90 generation body. Thanks to the factory geometry, the correct body lines, panel gaps, and compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and seals are maintained. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where maintaining the original structure of the side body section is crucial.

Color Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22

The Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 color is a distinctive, metallic graphite shade used by BMW, which effectively masks minor dirt and visually emphasizes the body line. Using a door in the same paint code significantly simplifies the repair process – in many cases, only local coating adjustment is sufficient, without the need for full painting of the component, which reduces vehicle downtime and costs.

Technical characteristics and installation

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it constitutes a structural side panel adapted to work with factory interior equipment and the vehicle's electrical installation. The placement on the vehicle defined as rear left ensures precise fitment to the specific position on the body, minimizing the risk of error when selecting the part.

As a used component, the door comes from vehicle dismantling, which allows for maintaining the original sheet metal thickness, factory stampings, and compliance with the BMW production line. This is particularly important for repairs where maintaining the original stiffness of the side body structure and correct alignment of sills and pillars is essential.

Using used parts in body repairs

In the case of older BMW generations, such as the E90, using original doors from dismantling is often more cost-effective than purchasing replacements. This allows for maintaining factory panel fitment while reducing repair costs and ensuring high-quality workmanship. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for repairs after side collisions, when replacing the entire door skin is necessary.
