Purpose and Vehicle Placement

The presented trim strip is designed for the rear right side of the body, in the area of the side window. Its construction is adapted to the body geometry of BMW F series vehicles, allowing for proper adhesion to the car body and cooperation with the window seal.

Its placement on the vehicle is designed to:

• maintain the smooth side line characteristic of BMW sedans,
• reduce the formation of unwanted wind noise around the window.

Technical Characteristics and Fitment

The trim strip is part of the original BMW components group, which means it adheres to factory dimensional tolerances and is compatible with the mountings provided by the manufacturer. This allows for installation in existing mounting points without the need for bodywork modifications.

Key technical features include:

• dedicated fitment for the BMW F01, F02, F04 platform,
• a profile adapted to the right rear side window,
• a construction that enables cooperation with factory seals and guides.

This solution helps maintain the visual and functional consistency of the entire side window area, which is important for both collision repairs and the replacement of worn-out finishing elements.

Condition of the Part and Service Application

The trim strip is offered as a used part, which means it comes from a dismantled vehicle and may show signs of wear typical for such components. At the same time, it retains full functionality for installation and for fulfilling its structural and finishing role.

The product is particularly suitable for situations where:

• replacement of a damaged trim strip after a collision or intervention in the window area is necessary,
• renovation of the side bodywork is being carried out while preserving original elements,
• maintaining the factory appearance and fit of BMW components is important.
