Purpose and fitment for BMW 1 Series E82

The presented window belongs to the Car Windows category and has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E82 body as a component mounted on the rear right side. The appropriate edge profiling and correct bending radius allow for precise seating in the body frame, which reduces the risk of leaks and unwanted stress on the glass.

Its placement in the rear part of the vehicle on the passenger side helps maintain proper side visibility and structural stability of the body in this area. Using an original BMW component helps maintain visual consistency with the other windows and trim strips.

Characteristics of the glass and Glanzschwarz High Gloss finish

The side window is made of appropriately selected AS3 automotive glass, which is used in rear and side constructions, among other things, due to its functional and comfort properties. This type of glass supports the reduction of glare and improves passenger comfort in the rear part of the cabin.

The Glanzschwarz High Gloss finish means the use of a high-gloss black border, which harmonizes with factory BMW styling elements. Such a visual detail is important both for post-accident repairs and for aesthetic body restoration, allowing for a uniform, modern look of the vehicle's side profile.

Functional features and benefits of installation

Installing this window in the rear right part of the body restores proper protection of the interior against external factors such as precipitation, dust, or wind gusts. A properly selected component also contributes to:

• maintaining the proper side structural rigidity within the rear part of the body,
• preserving the factory glazing line, which is important when checking body geometry,
• proper cooperation with seals and mounting strips intended for the BMW 1 Series E82.

For the user, this means stable vehicle operation and a reduction in the risk of additional repairs resulting from improper fitment of aftermarket replacements.

Used condition and practical aspects

The item is offered in used condition, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original origin of the part. In practice, this means the possibility of replacing a damaged window with a component from disassembly that still fulfills its functional requirements in terms of protection and aesthetics.

Before installation, it is recommended that the workshop verifies the compatibility of the window with the specific body version and the condition of mounting elements, such as seals or strips, which will facilitate efficient service work and reduce vehicle downtime.
