• preservation of factory geometry and mounting points,
• compatibility with original BMW locks and door handles,
• no need for modifications to the mechanical installation in the door.

The OEM component is a sensible choice when compliance with the factory design and predictable mechanism operation are important.

Practical application in BMW E65 repairs
