Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is designed for installation on the left side of the vehicle, i.e., the driver's side. The design with a five-pin electrical connector allows for the operation of adjustment and heating functions in accordance with the factory installation in the BMW 1 Series E81/E82. Using the correct type of mirror in this body location is crucial for safety, visibility, and compliance with the vehicle's original specifications.

Finish and color Kaschmirsilber Metallic A72

The mirror is finished in Kaschmirsilber (Cashmere Silver) Metallic A72, used as a factory standard on many BMW 1 Series models. This ensures color consistency with the body paint in this color code, without the need for additional painting when fitted to a car of the same color. The metallic coating provides an aesthetic appearance and blends well with the body lines, which is particularly important when replacing a single element after bodywork repairs.

Technical parameters and electrical connector

The mirror is equipped with a five-pin connector, which corresponds to the configuration used in many BMW E81/E82 equipment versions. This design enables proper cooperation with the vehicle's electrical system, including the mirror glass heating function. Heating improves visibility in rain, snow, and at low temperatures by reducing fogging and icing of the surface. Using the original solution with the correct number of pins minimizes the risk of compatibility issues during installation.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item comes from the BMW group and is a used part, which allows for an economical yet technically correct replacement of a damaged mirror. This type of component is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, visual body corrections, and restoring the car to its original factory specification. By maintaining the factory color and electrical configuration, additional painting and electrical work can be reduced.

Application in the restoration and modernization of the BMW E81/E82

The used heated mirror will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged element and in restoration projects for vehicles from model years that are increasingly treated as youngtimers. Proper matching of the color and electrical functions allows for preserving the car's original character, which is important for users who care about the visual and technical consistency of their BMW.
