Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined, which facilitates the selection of the correct part when repairing or replacing a damaged lock. The use of an original BMW design allows for proper interaction with the door handle, lock cylinder, rods, and door electrical system.

Technical Characteristics of the Door Lock

The lock belongs to the Locks and Latches category, meaning it is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door and transmitting signals to the vehicle's systems (central locking, potential comfort functions). The design is based on the factory BMW project, which ensures:

• proper positioning relative to the door panel and body pillar,
• stable locking when the door is closed,
• compatibility with original rods and handles,
• support for the opening and closing functions intended by the manufacturer.

Thanks to the use of an original solution, installation is similar to the factory process, without the need for modifications to mounting points or the electrical system.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Lock

Choosing an original BMW door lock primarily guarantees a perfect fit for the specific body generation and maintains the correct operation of the central locking system. The part has been designed to work seamlessly with the door's electronics and mechanics, minimizing the risk of issues with door closing, bouncing back, or incorrect locking.

The most significant advantages of using this lock include:

• factory mounting points,
• compatibility with the original door wiring harness,
• the locking mechanism's operating characteristics as intended by the manufacturer,
• the ability to reuse existing door components (handle, lock cylinder, rods).

Condition and Service Application

The offered lock is a used part, making it an attractive solution for vehicle servicing when a combination of functionality and reasonable repair cost is a priority. This type of part is suitable for replacing a damaged lock after a collision, as well as for addressing issues with locking or unlocking the passenger-side door.

Due to its factory origin, the lock can be used as a direct replacement for the originally installed part, without requiring modifications to the electrical system or door structure.

Replacement Numbers and Part Identification

The product has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in BMW catalogs and service systems. This allows for precise verification of the lock's compatibility with a specific body version and vehicle year, as well as its selection as an equivalent for various references used by the manufacturer in subsequent production years.
