Purpose and BMW compatibility

The cover has been designed specifically for BMW E90 series models after the facelift (LCI), which ensures a precise fit to the structure of the right-hand mirror. Its placement on the passenger side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the factory geometry, and the appropriate mounting shape allows for installation in place of the original shell without the need for modifications.

By using the original Le Mans Blau Metallic – 381 color specification, the element blends harmoniously with the body line, reducing the need for additional painting and making it easier to maintain a consistent look for the entire vehicle.

Color and finish Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381

The factory paint in the Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 shade is a distinctive, dynamic color used by BMW, which emphasizes the sporty character of the body. The metallic structure of the coating provides an attractive play of light on the mirror surface, which improves the visual perception of the entire side of the car.

Choosing a cover in the same paint code is particularly important when replacing a single element – it allows for minimizing shade differences between the new part and the remaining body panels, which is significant both for aesthetic reasons and for the potential resale of the vehicle.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an item from the Mirror components category, the cover serves a protective function for the adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass, shielding them from external factors. The rigid construction of the shell helps to limit minor mechanical damage and protects internal components from dirt and moisture.

The product is in used condition, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-functionality ratio while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Installation involves transferring the shell onto the existing mirror housing, which in most cases can be performed as part of standard service work without specialized modifications.

Practical application and benefits of choosing a used element

Choosing a used mirror cover in the original color is a solution that:

• allows you to reduce repair costs compared to purchasing a new, unpainted part,
• makes it easier to maintain body color consistency without additional painting work,
• ensures compatibility with the factory mounting and shape of the mirror on the right side of the BMW E90 LCI.

For users who want to restore the vehicle's aesthetics after a parking collision or the replacement of a damaged mirror, this configuration represents a practical compromise between quality and repair cost.
