Purpose and fitment

The cover is designed as a body component dedicated to the BMW E81 and E87 series after the facelift (LCI), intended for the left side of the vehicle. Thanks to its design, which complies with factory BMW standards, the housing works with the original mirror frame, maintaining correct geometry and stability while driving.

The Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76 color allows for visual consistency with other body elements, which reduces the need for additional painting in the case of cars in the same shade.

Technical characteristics of the component

The mirror housing cover serves a protective function for the mirror glass and the adjustment mechanism, securing them against external factors. The shape and profile are matched to the body lines of the BMW 1 Series, which minimizes wind noise and supports the maintenance of proper vehicle aerodynamics.

As an element from the External mirrors category, the housing is important both from the point of view of safety (clarity of the field of view) and aesthetics – especially during post-collision repairs or localized body renovations.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The product is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original build quality. Choosing an original, used mirror housing allows for:

• maintaining factory fitment to the mirror mounts and mechanism,
• preserving consistency with the styling line of the BMW E81/E87 LCI,
• reducing costs compared to new non-factory replacements.

For workshops and individual users, this means simpler installation and a lower risk of problems with fitting the element to the existing mirror structure.

Application in body repairs

The left mirror housing cover is particularly suitable for repairs after parking scrapes, minor side collisions, and when replacing elements damaged by weather conditions. Thanks to the factory profile, it is possible to quickly restore the original appearance of the mirror without interfering with the electrical installation or the adjustment mechanism.

In practice, the installation comes down to removing the damaged housing and installing the new element on the existing mirror body, which shortens working time and facilitates repair planning in service conditions.
