Purpose and BMW compatibility

The presented mirror cover belongs to the Exterior mirrors category and has been designed specifically for the BMW E81 and E87 facelift models. The housing design complies with BMW factory standards, facilitating installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications. Thanks to the precise shape and geometry, the mirror retains its correct field of view and stability while driving after the cover is replaced.

Schwarz 2 color – visual consistency of the bodywork

The housing is finished in Schwarz 2 – 668, which allows for a uniform appearance of the bodywork on black BMW paint versions. For the user, this means reducing the need for additional painting or color matching, provided the vehicle has the same paint code. The consistency of the mirror's color with the rest of the bodywork enhances the vehicle's aesthetics and helps maintain its visual value.

Vehicle placement and protective function

The cover is designed for the right side of the vehicle, i.e., the passenger side in left-hand drive cars. It is responsible for protecting the internal mirror mechanism and the glass insert from external factors such as water, dirt, or minor impacts. A properly selected housing reduces the risk of corrosion of internal components and helps maintain the efficiency of the mirror adjustment in the long term.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the mirror housing is a cost-effective solution for post-accident or maintenance repairs. It allows for the preservation of original BMW build quality while reducing expenses compared to new components. Such parts are particularly valued for older vehicle generations, where both fitment and repair economy are important.

Selection support and additional technical information

The mirror cover has a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification with a specific vehicle equipment version. When selecting the part, it is worth using data from the manufacturer's catalog or the VIN to ensure that the housing will work properly with the existing mirror body.
