Purpose and compatibility for BMW E81/E87

The mirror cover cap is designed as an external component for the right side mirror in the BMW 1 Series E81/E87 generation. The design corresponds to the factory dimensions and geometry of the mirror, which facilitates proper fitment with the mirror base and other body components. As a result, the part works well both for replacing a damaged cover and for restoring the vehicle to a factory-like condition after minor collisions or bodywork and paint repairs.

Color and finish Black Sapphire Metallic - 475

The applied Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is a popular metallic shade of black used in many BMW vehicles. This makes it easier to visually match the existing body paint, reducing or eliminating the need for additional painting. The metallic structure of the coating harmonizes well with the body lines of the 1 Series, maintaining stylistic consistency with the other body panels.

Functional characteristics and installation

The cover is an external mirror component whose task is to protect the internal adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass from atmospheric conditions. A properly selected housing helps to limit the ingress of moisture and contaminants into the mirror, which promotes longer, stable operation of the adjustment and electrical mechanisms. Installation is based on factory mounting points, which allows for efficient replacement in workshop conditions or at specialized body repair services.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing a used part

The presented mirror cover cap is a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. Choosing a used part from disassembly allows you to maintain material and structural consistency with the rest of the body parts while reducing repair costs. This is a practical option for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged cover after parking scrapes, or during vehicle restoration.
