Purpose and function of the door latch

The presented latch is dedicated for installation in the rear left door, in accordance with the factory BMW body design. It is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door wing, cooperation with the internal and external handle, and integration with the central locking and vehicle security system. Thanks to the preservation of the original mounting geometry and attachment points, the component allows for precise door alignment relative to the body and reduces the risk of play or improper closing.

Compatibility and replacement numbers

The latch was designed by BMW as a factory part, which means it is compatible with the door construction and installation in the models indicated in the product title. The component has a dedicated OEM part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, so it can be used as a replacement in various equipment versions and model years, provided the manufacturer has intended such interchangeability. The presence of multiple reference numbers facilitates the selection of the correct latch based on BMW catalogs and professional parts selection systems.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an element from the Locks and Latches category, the rear left door latch is responsible for:

• stable door locking while driving and when parked,
• cooperation with the central locking and factory comfort systems,
• correct transmission of movement from handles and rods to the locking mechanism,
• maintaining the correct door position relative to the bodywork after closing.

The component is intended for installation in place of the factory latch, using the original mounting points in the door. As a result, service work is limited to removing the upholstery, disconnecting the old mechanism, and connecting the new one, without the need for modifying the door structure.

Part condition and benefits of choosing a used component

The offered door latch comes from the secondary market, which allows combining an attractive purchase cost with maintaining the original BMW specification. A used OEM component usually works better with the factory installation than random low-quality replacements, while simultaneously enabling an economical repair of the locking system. This solution is particularly beneficial for comprehensive service work on older BMW generations, where both functionality and rational operating costs matter.
