Purpose and functions of the mirror

The presented BMW 1 Series 1 E87 Power Fold Auto Dip Right Wing Mirror O/S Quarzblau Blue A18 is designed as a complete housing with an adjustment mechanism, intended for the right side of the vehicle. The design includes power folding, which facilitates maneuvering in tight spaces and parking near curbs. The auto-dip function assists the driver during reversing by automatically changing the mirror position to improve visibility of the area near the vehicle.

The mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors group, responsible for the safe observation of the vehicle's surroundings. The adjustment system used is compatible with factory BMW controllers, allowing for full integration with comfort systems and memory settings (if present in the specific vehicle).

Color and body fitment

The mirror housing is finished in Quarzblau Metallic - A18, characteristic of the BMW paint palette. The metallic paint structure ensures consistency with the original body finish, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing the component on cars of the same color. In the case of other body colors, the mirror can serve as a base for repainting according to the user's requirements.

Thanks to factory mounting points and the standard housing shape, installation is similar to replacing a part at an authorized service center. Body lines, mounting gaps, and mirror geometry are preserved, which translates into a correct field of vision and ergonomic use.

Technical and functional aspects

The mirror is adapted for mounting on the right side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory BMW specification for the 1 Series E87. The integrated power folding mechanism allows for controlling the mirror position from inside the car, and the auto-dip function works with the reversing system, improving visibility of curbs and obstacles in the lower field of view.

The component belongs to the BMW OEM group, which means maintaining original operating parameters, electrical compatibility, and build quality. The used nature of the part allows for an economical replacement of a damaged mirror while maintaining the factory standard of construction and fitment with the door.

Condition, installation, and service application

The mirror comes from dismantling and is offered as a used OEM component, intended for direct installation in appropriately configured BMW 1 Series E87 models. This type of part is suitable for both post-accident repairs and replacing a worn or mechanically damaged mirror, allowing for the restoration of full functionality to the vehicle's side zone.

In service practice, using an original mirror with power fold and auto-dip functions reduces the risk of problems with wiring harness fitment, control from door switches, and integration with the existing electrical installation. This is a particularly beneficial solution for workshops specializing in the BMW brand and users who care about maintaining equipment consistency with the factory configuration.
