Application and fitment for BMW 1 Series bodywork

The offered item is a complete front left door, dedicated to the BMW 1 Series E81, E82, and E88 generations. The structure is prepared for installation at factory mounting points, which facilitates bodywork and allows for maintaining proper gaps between the door, fender, and rocker panel.

Precise fitment to the 1 Series body lines reduces the need for additional modifications, and the correct geometry facilitates proper adjustment of the lock, hinges, and seals, which is important for cabin tightness and acoustic comfort.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color and aesthetic values

The door is finished in the factory Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color, characteristic of many BMW 1 Series configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures a consistent, toned-down look for the body and blends well with both light and dark exterior trim elements.

Choosing a component in the correct paint code often allows for minimizing the scope of paintwork, which shortens repair time and can reduce costs. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where both aesthetics and the economics of the entire process matter.

Technical characteristics and installation

The door is intended for installation on the front left side, in accordance with the factory layout of the BMW 1 Series body. The load-bearing structure is designed to withstand the stresses of daily use, opening and closing, as well as the operation of hinges and the lock.

The component has a specific weight, which is important when selecting appropriate hinges and adjusting the door position relative to the pillar and rocker panel. This makes it possible to achieve proper closing and maintain factory comfort of use.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered door is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for combining reasonable repair costs with the preservation of the original quality of the BMW body structure. This type of component is particularly attractive for repairs of older vehicles, where full replacement with a new component is often economically unjustified.

Choosing original doors from dismantling allows for maintaining material consistency of the bodywork while ensuring compatibility with factory mounting solutions, which facilitates the work of a body and paint shop.
