Purpose and compatibility with BMW 1 Series

The cover has been designed specifically for the left-side exterior mirror of the BMW E81 and E87, which guarantees proper geometric fitment to the shape of the mirror base. The OEM construction allows for installation in place of the factory casing without the need for modifications, maintaining the original body lines and correct mirror aerodynamics.

Thanks to its precise profile, the component works well with the mirror glass adjustment mechanism without restricting the driver's field of vision. It is a practical solution when replacing a damaged casing after a collision or during the restoration of exterior body components.

Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 color

The Sparkling Graphite Metallic - A22 finish allows for visual consistency with the factory BMW paint in this shade. The metallic structure of the coating provides characteristic depth and proper light reflection on the mirror surface, which is particularly important when matching it to the rest of the body panels.

For users who want to reduce the time and cost of additional painting, a color-matched casing is a practical solution – especially for local repairs on the driver's side.

Characteristics of the used component

As a part from the Mirror glass category functionally linked to the mirror assembly, the casing serves a protective role for the adjustment mechanism and the glass itself. The used OEM component retains factory geometry and mounting points, which facilitates installation and ensures stable seating on the mirror base.

Choosing an original, used casing is a beneficial solution for drivers who expect compatibility with the factory mirror system and want to keep the vehicle in a configuration consistent with the manufacturer's equipment.

Installation and technical aspects

The cover is intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle, which eliminates the risk of error when selecting the part relative to the side of the body. The OEM construction allows for installation using factory mounting points, without the need for interfering with the mirror structure or additional adjustments.

When installed correctly, the cover ensures:

• stable seating on the mirror body,
• protection of the internal adjustment mechanism,
• proper airflow around the mirror,
• aesthetic finish of the side part of the body.

Operation and maintenance of the used casing

A used body component requires standard paint care, such as regular washing, periodic protection with a protective coating, and avoiding aggressive chemical agents. Proper maintenance allows you to maintain a stable color appearance and reduce the risk of surface micro-damage.
