Pictures

Specifically Included

Sometimes it is not clear what is included in the listing, so we are mentioning what we specifically include: Interior door handle. Armrest.

Many buyers need one part that is included in this assembly but they do not need the entire assembly, so we offer some of these parts for sale separately:



Genuine BMW E46 Door handle, interior. Passenger. Rear 51428200752: If you broke your interior door handle, you do not have to buy another entire door panel. You can replace just the interior door handle by chiseling off the plastic melt welds and then using epoxy and/or sheet metal screws to attach the replacement.

Not Included

The listing specifically does not include: Speaker. Speaker cover. Trim.

For many buyers, their rear door main trim panel (bright beige) is not missing, just damaged but the related parts are intact. Many buyers are fine with transferring these from their existing part.

But, for buyers who need to replace the related parts too, we offer them for sale separately:



Genuine BMW E36 E46 Door wiring harness. Rear 61128378339: The wiring harness attaches to the speaker and electric window switch. It breaks when detached incorrectly.

Also not included: Fasteners

Many buyers are fine with paying for the right fasteners even though they are in used condition. For them, we offer fasteners for sale.

Probably everyone would prefer free fasteners, but every fastener (bolt, nut, screw) we offer has to be removed, authenticated, inspected, cleaned, added to computer inventory, then placed in the warehouse until sold. When sold, it has to be retrieved and packed, and the computer inventory level has to be downcounted. Doing this for free is not viable for this business.
