Purpose and fitment

The presented cover is designed as a component mounted on the left side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory design of the BMW E81, E82, and E87 series mirrors. By maintaining the original mounting geometry, it ensures a proper fit with the mirror base without the need for modifications or forced adjustments.

As a part from the Wing Mirrors group, the housing is responsible for protecting the mirror glass, electrical wiring, and adjustment mechanism from external factors such as water, dirt, or minor road impacts.

Color and finish

The cover is factory-finished in the Schwarz 2 - 668 shade, which allows for a consistent match with BMW bodies painted in this color. This color selection reduces the need for additional painting and, in many cases, allows for direct installation after visually matching it with the rest of the bodywork.

The uniform, smooth surface also facilitates any potential future paint work, should the user decide to change the color or refresh the coating as part of a broader body restoration.

Functional characteristics

The mirror cover in this design version provides:

• stable seating on the mirror body on the left side of the vehicle,
• protection of adjustment and electrical components against weather conditions,
• maintenance of the factory body line characteristic of BMW E81, E82, E87 models,
• the ability to replace a damaged cover without interfering with the mirror mechanics.

By maintaining the original form and dimensions, the part allows for the restoration of the correct appearance of the side body area after a collision, parking scrape, or natural wear of the component.

Condition and origin

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used BMW mirror cover. This type of component is a cost-effective solution for users looking for original body parts at a reasonable price, while maintaining factory fitment and compatibility with the vehicle's construction.

By using an original housing from the secondary market, one can avoid problems typical of low-quality replacements, such as improper fit, installation difficulties, or differences in paint shade.
