Purpose and compatibility for BMW E81 / E87

The cover has been designed specifically for the BMW E81 and E87 series, which translates into a precise fit for the shape of the factory mirror on the right side of the vehicle. The housing design allows for installation in place of the original element without the need for modifications, maintaining the body line and the characteristic look of BMW compact models.

Placement on the passenger side allows for the restoration of full functionality of the exterior mirror after mechanical or operational damage, while maintaining visual consistency with other body components.

Schwarz 2 - 668 color and visual aspect

The Schwarz 2 - 668 finish ensures consistency with the factory BMW paint palette, which facilitates integration with the existing body paint. The dark, uniform surface of the housing blends well with both light and dark body shades, reducing the need for additional paint work or allowing it to be postponed.

Using the original color scheme within the exterior mirror area contributes to maintaining the aesthetic value of the vehicle, as well as a clear, orderly appearance of the side of the body.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror housing cover comes from the used parts segment, which means it is a component from disassembly that retains the functionality and geometry necessary for further use. This type of component is a good solution for post-accident or operational repairs when the priority is to maintain the original BMW construction while optimizing costs.

Using a used housing in place of a damaged one allows for the restoration of proper protection for the mirror glass and adjustment mechanism, reducing the risk of dirt and moisture entering the mirror interior.

Benefits of using an original mirror housing

Choosing an original mirror cover for the BMW E81 E87 brings a number of practical advantages:

• preservation of factory geometry and side body lines,
• secure fit to the mounts and structure of the exterior mirror,
• color consistency with the factory Schwarz 2 - 668 paint,
• possibility of economical repair using a used part.

Thanks to this, the housing will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged element and for staged renovation of the vehicle's exterior zone.
