Purpose and fitment for BMW 3 E90/E91 LCI

The offered mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for the left side of the vehicle. The design is compatible with the facelift (LCI) version of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91, allowing for the preservation of the original side profile, correct geometry, and the driver's proper field of vision.

The component was designed as part of BMW's factory equipment, ensuring it fits factory mounting points and integrates with the vehicle's electrical system without the need for modifications.

Heating function and driving safety

The mirror is equipped with a heated glass function, which significantly improves visibility in difficult weather conditions. Heating reduces fogging and frost accumulation on the glass surface, making it easier to prepare the car for driving on cold days.

Stable mounting and properly selected glass curvature support safe observation of the vehicle's surroundings, especially during lane changes, city maneuvering, and parallel parking.

Bluewater Metallic – 896 color and body aesthetics

The mirror is finished in the Bluewater Metallic – 896 shade, characteristic of the BMW paint palette. This allows for an aesthetic match to a body in the same color, without the need for additional painting or requiring only minimal adjustments to match the current condition of the vehicle's paintwork.

Thanks to the factory finish, visual consistency with other body elements is maintained, which is important both for post-accident repairs and for maintaining the overall appearance of the car.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered mirror is a used part, sourced from vehicle dismantling. Such components are a popular choice for repairs because they allow for maintaining the original vehicle specifications while reducing costs compared to new parts. In practice, this represents a favorable compromise between price and maintaining factory build quality.

Choosing an original, used wing mirror is particularly important where proper fitment to the body line, electrical compatibility, and compliance with the equipment of a specific BMW version are essential.

Support with selection and repair expansion
