An interior grab bar (also called an assist handle) is a component commonly found inside vehicles, especially above the doors, on the A-pillar, B-pillar, or roof area. Its main purpose is to provide passengers with extra stability and support when entering or exiting the vehicle, or while the vehicle is in motion. These bars are typically made of durable plastic, metal, or reinforced composite materials and are anchored securely to the vehicle’s frame or trim.

• Loose or Wobbly Fitment – The grab bar moves, rattles, or feels unstable when pulled, often due to worn or broken mounting clips or screws.
• Cracks or Visible Damage – The handle shows cracks, discoloration, or deformation, reducing both strength and appearance.
• Noises or Detachment – Creaking, squeaking, or, in severe cases, partial/complete detachment when used, making it unsafe for support.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
