Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror is designed for the left side of the vehicle, which is crucial for proper fitment to the body and the geometry of the driver's field of view. The construction was designed specifically for BMW 1 Series / 3 E87 generation models, ensuring proper ergonomics, adjustment angles, and compatibility with factory mounts.

The item belongs to the Mirror glass category; however, in this case, it is a complete side mirror with a built-in heating function and power-folding, which translates into convenience during daily use.

Key technical features

The mirror is equipped with power folding, which facilitates maneuvering in tight spaces, parking by the curb, and reduces the risk of mechanical damage. The integrated glass heating improves driving safety in low temperatures, rain, and icy conditions, ensuring quick evaporation and defrosting of the surface.

The Quarzblau Metallic A18 color is a characteristic metallic blue shade used by the factory in BMW vehicles, which allows for maintaining visual consistency of the body without the need for additional painting (provided the car has the same paint code). Thanks to this, the mirror fits well into the vehicle's styling line, maintaining the original character of the brand.

Quality, condition, and fitment

This is an original BMW component in used condition, which means it retains factory geometry, solid construction, and compatibility with the vehicle's electrical installation. A used component is a sensible choice for post-accident repairs or replacing a damaged mirror, allowing for cost reduction while maintaining an appropriate level of quality.

Thanks to its factory origin, the mirror works with original BMW wiring harnesses, switches, and control modules, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of fitment issues. In practice, this means plug-and-play installation is possible by an experienced mechanic or auto electrician.

Practical application and benefits

Replacing a damaged mirror with this model allows you to restore:

• the correct field of view on the left side of the vehicle,
• efficient glass heating in difficult weather conditions,
• the convenience of power folding while parking,
• a consistent body appearance in Quarzblau Metallic A18 color.

For users who care about the aesthetics and functionality of their car, this is a solution that combines reasonable cost with the preservation of the original BMW character and the proper operation of adjustment and heating systems.
