A body segment for a motor vehicle in the area of a side panel has the following characteristics: An open, particularly C-shaped profile part of a constant cross-section which was produced by roll profiling and which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body; and an interior side member mounted on the profile part in the direction of the interior side of the vehicle body. An interior A-column part and an interior B-column part are mounted on the profile part. Furthermore, the vehicle body segment has a side panel covering which is mounted partially over the profile part in the direction of the exterior side of the vehicle body and which has an exterior A-column part, an exterior B-column part and an exterior C-column part. In this case, the profile part is made of a high-strength steel, and its profile has pronounced displacements toward the exterior side of the vehicle body.
