Purpose and fitment for BMW E90 E91 LCI

The housing has been designed specifically for the post-facelift (LCI) E90/E91 generation, ensuring a proper fit to the right mirror structure and compatibility with the body lines. This ensures that factory mounting gaps are maintained, and the mirror retains correct geometry and stability while driving once the assembly is completed.

The element is part of the original BMW external mirror system, so there is no need for additional modifications or adjustments to the mounts after installation. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and when replacing worn body components.

Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 color and aesthetic qualities

The factory color Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 is a distinctive, dynamic shade of blue used by BMW, which effectively highlights the side profile of the vehicle. Using an originally painted housing allows you to avoid color shade differences that are typical when repainting individual components.

As a result, the housing is suitable both for local repair of the right mirror and for restoring the consistent appearance of the entire side of the vehicle. It is a practical solution for users who want to maintain the factory character of the car and reduce workshop downtime.

Technical characteristics and installation

The housing is an external mirror component responsible for protecting the internal mechanism and mirror glass from weather conditions and minor mechanical damage. The design intended for the right side of the vehicle ensures proper adhesion to the mirror base and stable mounting.

In practice, installation involves transferring the housing onto the existing mirror body, while maintaining the factory attachment points. The used OEM part is a good choice for vehicle service where compliance with the manufacturer's original design and predictable performance are important.

Practical application and benefits of choosing a used housing

Choosing a used mirror housing for a BMW allows you to significantly reduce repair costs while maintaining the original specification. This solution is particularly beneficial when only the outer part of the mirror is damaged, while the adjustment mechanism and glass remain functional.

The main benefits include:

• maintaining the factory look of the right mirror without the need for painting,
• compatibility with the mirror construction used in the E90/E91 LCI,
• reducing repair time to just replacing the housing itself,
• maintaining a consistent side body line in Le Mans Blau Metallic color.
