Purpose and fitment

The presented door card is dedicated to the rear right side of the BMW E46 series body, ensuring proper fitment to the door structure and factory mounting points. The component is designed as an OEM part, maintaining compatibility with the interior's stylistic lines and the ergonomics of the original design.

The vehicle placement is precisely defined, which facilitates the selection of the correct panel when replacing a single door card or during phased door upholstery restoration.

Material and finish

The door card features a leather finish, which enhances the perceived quality of the interior and makes the surface easier to keep clean. The black upholstery complements both light and dark cockpit configurations, allowing for a consistent, understated cabin character.

The leather surface provides a pleasant tactile feel during daily use, and the properly formed structure of the door card supports a stable armrest for rear-seat passengers.

Function in door construction

The door card serves several important functional and structural purposes:

• covers the internal door structure and window regulator mechanism components,
• creates an aesthetic contact surface for the passenger,
• helps reduce noise and vibrations transmitted from the outside,
• serves as a base for mounting additional trim elements and equipment (depending on the specific vehicle configuration).

Thanks to its proper profile, the door card works in conjunction with seals, the interior door handle, and other door components, which translates into acoustic comfort and the stability of the entire panel.

Condition and service application

The item is offered as used door upholstery, making it a cost-effective solution for accident repairs, replacing a damaged door card, or restoring the original interior look without the need to invest in new, hard-to-find parts. Such components are particularly useful for the comprehensive restoration of older BMW E46 models, where adherence to the factory design is essential.

Selecting the correct door card helps reduce workshop time, as the panel is ready for installation in the location intended by the manufacturer, without the need for modifying the door structure.
