Rear Right Door Panel - 2011 528i

The 2011 BMW 528i utilizes the F10 platform, and its rear right door panel (BMW part numbers 51-41-7-239-226 for leather or 51-41-7-206-210 for vinyl) interchanges across all 2010-2017 F10 5-Series sedans regardless of engine—from N52-powered 528i models to twin-turbo N63 550i variants. When sourcing from salvage yards, strictly avoid F11 Touring wagons and F07 Gran Turismo hatches, which share front doors but feature unique rear door architectures. Inspection priorities include checking the upper trim retention clips (prone to crumbling on heat-cycled cars) and verifying the side curtain airbag cover hasn't delaminated from the substrate—a common F10 failure. Installation requires removing the window switch module (disconnect battery first to avoid airbag faults) and carefully threading the door handle cable through the new panel. Map pocket separation is endemic to early production; test by pulling outward on the pocket face. Color codes are critical—Black/Schwarz (LCSW) and Oyster/Black (LKSW) panels fit identically but clash aesthetically if mismatched.
