Purpose and fitment for BMW E81/E87 LCI

The presented cover is designed as the outer casing for the right side mirror in BMW 1 Series E81/E87 models after the facelift (LCI). Thanks to the factory geometry, the following are maintained:

• proper adhesion to the mirror housing,
• appropriate transition line between the mirror and the door,
• compatibility with the standard mirror mount and construction.

Such a fit reduces the need for additional modifications and allows for installation in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 color and visual aspect

The cover is finished in the factory Tiefseeblau Metallic – A76 color, characteristic of selected BMW 1 Series configurations. Using the original shade:

• facilitates maintaining color consistency across the entire side of the vehicle,
• reduces the need for full repainting during minor repairs,
• allows for an aesthetic restoration of appearance after a collision or parking damage.

For users who care about the visual continuity of the paint coating, this is a practical solution, especially for spot repairs.

Assembly and functional characteristics

The right mirror cover serves a protective function for the internal mirror components, such as the adjustment mechanism or the mirror glass. A properly selected element:

• protects the interior of the mirror from weather conditions,
• stabilizes the outer part of the mirror assembly,
• ensures proper airflow along the vehicle body.

A used, original cover from this series is a good choice for repairs where both proper function and maintaining the factory look of the vehicle are important.

Safety and selection of used components

When replacing body elements and external equipment, it is worth simultaneously verifying the condition of components responsible for driving safety.

Why choose original used BMW parts

Original, used BMW components, such as the right mirror cover in Tiefseeblau Metallic, allow you to maintain the factory body line and proper fitment of elements. This is a solution that combines controlled manufacturing quality with a reasonable repair cost, especially in the case of premium class models, where the precision of fit has a direct impact on the durability and aesthetics of the entire vehicle.
