Purpose and BMW fitment

The cover is dedicated to the right external mirror in facelifted (LCI) BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation models, ensuring proper fitment to the shape of the mirror base and the side body line. Thanks to its design compliant with the factory BMW standard, the component maintains correct geometry, which facilitates installation and guarantees stable seating on the mirror housing.

As a part from the External mirrors category, the casing is responsible for protecting the adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass from external factors, while simultaneously influencing the vehicle's aerodynamics and aesthetics.

Color and finish: Bluewater Metallic - 896

The finish in Bluewater Metallic - 896 allows for maintaining consistency with the factory BMW paint palette. The metallic coating gives the mirror an elegant, modern character that blends well with the 3 Series body line. For users concerned about the visual continuity of the bodywork, this is a particularly beneficial solution, reducing the need for additional paint work or its scope.

The metallic color promotes an even distribution of light reflections on the mirror surface, which improves the overall presentation of the vehicle's side and emphasizes the characteristic BMW styling.

Component characteristics and installation

The mirror cover is an external element designed to shield the internal structure of the mirror and ensure the appropriate rigidity of the entire assembly. The design intended for the right side of the vehicle allows for correct alignment with the mirror arm and maintaining the proper gap relative to the door and side window.

When replacing a damaged casing with this item, you can:

• restore the proper appearance of the right mirror after a collision or scrape,
• protect the adjustment mechanism and mirror glass from moisture and dirt,
• maintain the original stylistic line of the side body.

The cover, as a used part, represents a practical solution for drivers looking for a factory component at a reasonable price, while maintaining the proper standard of workmanship.

Practical application and benefits of choosing a used part

Using an original, used mirror casing allows for reducing repair costs compared to purchasing a new element, while maintaining compliance with the factory BMW specification. This is a beneficial solution, especially in the case of localized damage to the right side of the vehicle, where replacing just the cover restores the full functionality and aesthetics of the mirror.
