BMW E31 850 840 Passengers Side Door Handle Pivot 51218124296

We are pleased to introduce the latest and final version of the door handle pivot design. This pivot is manufactured from high-grade steel, which offers superior durability compared to the previous aluminum version and is designed to outlast your door handle. The new pivot includes all necessary components: a pre-installed small nylon bushing, a plug-and-play pin, and a self-locking nut.

This product serves as a complete plug-and-play solution for the BMW E31 850 and 840 passenger side (or driver's side for right-hand drive vehicles) door handle repair pivot bar, requiring no modifications. The original BMW handlebar is made from pot metal, which is insufficiently robust for this application. Over time, every E31 door handle may fail, preventing access to the door from the outside. Please note that the handle is no longer available from BMW, and the pivot is not sold separately.

To remove the original pivot from the handle, the outer pin must be drilled out, and the provided pin with a self-locking nut should be used as a replacement. It is recommended to apply silicone lubricant on all pins to ensure smoother operation. As a quick tip, during the reinstallation of the door handle, ensure that the locking tab is inserted into the lock fork; failure to do so may result in an inability to lock the door with the key.
