Purpose and fitment for BMW E60/E61

The presented cover is part of the External Mirrors group and is designed for installation on the left side of the vehicle in BMW 5 Series E60/E61 models. The housing design is consistent with the factory mirror geometry, which facilitates installation on the original frame and helps maintain proper aerodynamics and the side line of the bodywork.

As a dismantled part, the housing retains its original mounting points and shape, which promotes precise fitment with the mirror glass and turn signal (if present in the specific vehicle configuration).

Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 color – paint consistency

The cover is factory-painted in the Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 shade, also known as Deep Sea Blue. This is a metallic, dark blue color used by BMW that blends well with the 5 Series body line, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing the component with one in the same paint code.

For vehicle owners with this color, it means the possibility of a quick replacement of a damaged mirror housing while maintaining visual consistency and an aesthetic appearance of the entire side of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror cover is a used part, making it an economical solution for repairing operational or parking damage. This type of part allows for cost reduction compared to a new component, while maintaining the original construction and compatibility with the factory BMW mirror.

The used housing will work particularly well in situations where the priority is to restore full functionality and the correct appearance of the mirror without investing in a complete new set.

Benefits of using an original mirror housing

• Factory fitment for the left-side mirror in BMW E60/E61.
• Original shape and mounting points for easy installation.
• Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 color allowing for consistency with the body paint.
• Reasonable repair costs thanks to the use of a pre-owned component.
