Purpose and function of the component

The presented lock cylinder cover is part of the Door handles group and operates in the front, right zone of the vehicle body. Its task is to cover the lock cylinder mechanism in the handle, protect it against contaminants, and maintain the factory geometry of the door line. Thanks to its proper profile, the element ensures correct adhesion to the handle and door panel, which reduces the risk of moisture entering the mechanism.

Color and paint matching

The cover is factory-painted in the Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 shade, characteristic of selected BMW E90 configurations. Using the original color allows for maintaining visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle without the need for additional painting, provided that the other body elements are maintained in the same paint code. This is a practical solution for local repairs after minor mechanical damage or handle replacement.

Installation characteristics

The lock cylinder cover is designed as an element dedicated to a specific mounting position – the front right door. Appropriate guides and clips allow for installation in place of the factory component, while maintaining the correct geometry relative to the handle and door panel. With proper installation, a stable fit is achieved, without unwanted play or protruding edges.

Condition and benefits of using an original part

The element comes from disassembly and is offered as an original BMW part. Choosing an OEM component from the secondary market allows you to maintain material compatibility, proper fit, and the surface finish quality characteristic of the manufacturer. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs of premium class vehicles, where it is important to maintain the factory appearance and minimize differences in paint shade.

Integration with other BMW body elements

The lock cylinder cover works with the exterior door handle, seals, and the front right door panel, creating a visually and functionally coherent assembly. When replacing this element, it is worth paying attention to the condition of the handle itself and other components in this area to avoid re-disassembly in the near future.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the door area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as exterior handles, covers, or additional lock trims, check the available parts in the BMW Door handles category.
