Purpose and function of the component

The mirror cover is dedicated to the right side of the vehicle and serves as the outer housing for the mirror structure. It is responsible for:

• protecting the adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass from external factors,
• maintaining the proper aerodynamics of the side body area,
• preserving the vehicle's consistent appearance by matching the shape to the lines of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the casing works with the original mirror mount, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper alignment with the doors and side moldings.

Color and finish Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416

The Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 color is a characteristic, dark shade of BMW paint with a subtle metallic effect, often referred to as Carbon Black. Using this color on the mirror cover allows for a uniform body appearance without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same paint code.

The metallic finish enhances the visual depth of the color, and the correctly matched shade facilitates the integration of the component with the car's side line, which is particularly important during post-accident repairs or when replacing individual body components.

Installation and fitment for BMW 3 Series E90/E91

The casing is designed for installation on the right exterior mirror, in accordance with the factory construction of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91. Thanks to the original specification:

• the correct mounting points relative to the mirror body are preserved,
• the edge line of the cover aligns with the door and pillar contours,
• the element harmonizes with the standard mirror base and the airflow along the body.

Such fitment limits the need for additional modifications and allows for efficient replacement of a damaged cover in workshop or service conditions.

Characteristics of the used OEM component

The mirror cover comes from the Exterior mirrors group and is a used component, which in practice means retaining the original construction at a more favorable cost compared to a new part. For many BMW 3 Series E90/E91 users, this is a sensible solution for maintenance or cosmetic repairs when factory fitment and compliance with the body line are key.
