Purpose and fitment

The presented exterior handle is designed for installation on the front right door in selected BMW F-series models, such as the F20 or F30, in accordance with the manufacturer’s numbering. The passenger-side placement ensures correct handle geometry, the appropriate operating angle, and compatibility with the factory lock mechanism and internal linkages.

As an item from the Door Handles category, this part works with original locks, cylinders, and door electronics, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of issues with closing or opening the door after replacement.

Color and finish Tiefseeblau Metallic A76

The factory Tiefseeblau Metallic (A76) paint is a distinctive, deep shade of blue with a metallic effect, used on many BMW vehicles. Using the original color:

• reduces the need for additional painting after installation,
• makes it easier to maintain visual consistency across the entire side of the body,
• allows for a quick and functional replacement of a damaged handle.

For vehicle owners with this specific color, this is a particularly beneficial solution, as it enables the restoration of aesthetics without long-lasting paint work.

Technical and functional characteristics

The handle construction was developed by BMW for repeatable, stable performance in daily use. The component is matched to the factory door profile, which ensures:

• proper fitment with the door skin and trim,
• correct operation of the opening mechanism using standard force,
• appropriate handle rigidity during repeated use.

The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific body version and vehicle year in BMW catalogs or with a service advisor.

Condition, origin, and service application

The handle is used, meaning it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of wear consistent with the age of the car, while maintaining full structural functionality. For workshops and individual users, this is a reasonable choice for:

• post-accident repairs of the right side of the body,
• replacing a damaged or scratched handle,
• restoring door functionality after a mechanical failure.

Using an original BMW component reduces the risk of fitment issues and helps maintain the visual and technical consistency of the vehicle relative to the factory specification.

Support with selection and additional information

Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the part markings and paint color with the vehicle data to confirm full compatibility. In case of doubt, checking the numbers in the BMW catalog or consulting a mechanic specializing in the brand is helpful.
