Purpose and fitment

The presented panel is designed for installation on the rear right door of the BMW F30/F31 body style. The design, based on factory mounting points, allows for installation in place of the original upholstery without the need for bodywork modifications or interference with the door structure. Thanks to the retention of the serial geometry, the panel works seamlessly with factory equipment such as handles, grips, guides, and trim mounts.

Material and finish

The upholstery is made of natural Dakota leather in black, used as standard in premium BMW models. The leather finish provides a pleasant-to-touch surface that is resistant to typical operational wear, such as frequent contact with clothing or point pressure during door operation. The uniform black color facilitates integration with other interior elements, reducing the visibility of minor dirt and ensuring a subdued, technical character of the cabin.

Functional role and installation

The panel performs several key functions within the door structure:

• covers the inner part of the door shell, improving interior aesthetics and ergonomics,
• provides stable mounting for control elements and handles,
• supports acoustic insulation and separation of the door cavity from the cabin.

As a salvaged part, the upholstery is ready for reinstallation in the vehicle, following standard BMW service procedures. Replacing the panel is a typical workshop operation in cases of mechanical damage, surface wear, or interior upgrades to a leather version.

Characteristics of a used product

The item comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical replacement of upholstery while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. A used door panel is a good solution in situations where priority is given to compatibility with the factory interior design, while rational repair or upgrade costs are also important. Maintaining the original structure and material promotes even aging of all cabin components.

Expanding your BMW interior configuration

When expanding or refreshing the rear part of the cabin, it is worth treating this upholstery as part of a larger upgrade set, including other door panels and additional trim components. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the door zone in your BMW and need other items from the same group, such as panels, door cards, or additional linings, check the available parts in the BMW door cards category.
