Purpose and fitment for BMW 1 SERIES 26 E87 E87N

The offered item is a complete front right exterior door, prepared for installation in the body of the BMW 1 Series E87 and E87N generations. The construction is based on the factory BMW design, which ensures proper fitment with the fender, rocker panel, B-pillar, and roofline, as well as correct window and seal operation.

The vehicle placement defined as front – right side ensures that the panel is intended specifically for the passenger position in left-hand drive versions, which facilitates part selection for accident repairs or restoration.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color and aesthetic values

The door is factory-finished in Black Sapphire Metallic paint, marked with code 475, characteristic of many BMW 1 Series configurations. This metallic shade of black blends well with both light and dark styling packages, allowing for visual consistency of the body without the need to change the vehicle's color.

For many users, it is important that using an original panel in the same color significantly limits the scope of paint work – in many cases, only corrective work and polishing are sufficient, which shortens vehicle downtime and reduces repair costs.

Technical characteristics and installation advantages

As an element from the Doors and door panels group, the product is a load-bearing side panel to which hinges, the lock, window, guides, seals, and any additional equipment elements are attached. The construction is prepared to work with factory mounting points in the E87 / E87N body, which facilitates installation in a body shop environment.

The main benefits of using this component include:

• maintaining the original geometry of the gaps between the door and adjacent panels,
• compatibility with factory hinges and door lock,
• possibility of transferring existing equipment from damaged doors,
• reduction of the scope of fitting and adjustment work.

The used condition means that the panel comes from dismantling, which in practice allows combining reasonable cost with maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Use in body repairs and restorations

The front right door in Black Sapphire Metallic will work well both for collision repairs and for replacing a component affected by corrosion or serious mechanical damage. Thanks to its factory origin, the part fits well into the body structure, which facilitates achieving the correct side line and proper operation of the lock and seals.

In workshop practice, using original doors for the BMW 1 Series E87 / E87N allows for shortening repair time, limiting the amount of body filler and edge fitting, and reducing the risk of problems with closing or leaks in the B-pillar and rocker area.
