Door Lock Actuator Left Front (Passenger) – BMW 1, 3, 5, 7, X1, X6 (51217229457)

This door lock actuator is a direct replacement for Genuine Part Number Reference: 51217229457. Listed by BMW as the front left system latch, and also known as a door catch, door latch, central locking motor or door lock mechanism, it is the complete left front door lock assembly with the actuator motor and microswitches built in. Replacing a failed lock cures a door that will not open from either handle, central locking that ignores one door, and a door-ajar warning that stays lit with the door closed.
