Purpose and Fitment

The left mirror housing cover has been specifically designed for the facelifted (LCI) BMW 3 Series E90/E91 models, ensuring correct geometry and fit with the factory mirror body. The construction matches the original manufacturer's design, preserving the character lines, angle of inclination, and the distinctive side profile typical of this BMW generation.

The part is intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle, which is important for both aerodynamics and the proper flow of air around the mirror. Using an original cover minimizes the risk of vibrations, noise, and improper adhesion to the mirror base.

Body Color and Aesthetics

The cover is finished in Spacegrau Metallic - A52, a color characteristic of BMW's palette. This allows for the preservation of a uniform body color without the need for additional painting, provided that other body panels are in the same shade.

The metallic finish gives the mirror a subtle, modern look that complements both light and dark body colors. Replacing a damaged or scratched cover with an original part in the same color restores the cohesive appearance of the car's side and reduces shade differences often seen with aftermarket replacements.

Characteristics of a Used Part

This cover is a used part, sourced from a dismantled vehicle, offering a sensible compromise between cost and maintaining original BMW quality. Such parts are often chosen for accident repairs, minor cosmetic corrections, and restoring a vehicle's factory appearance without investing in a complete new mirror set.

For cars from the E90/E91 LCI generation, using a used, original cover helps maintain material and color consistency with other body elements, which is particularly important for preserving the car's value on the used market.

Benefits of Using an Original Mirror Cover

• Factory Fitment – maintains the correct shape, mounting points, and body lines characteristic of the BMW E90/E91 LCI.
• Consistent Aesthetics – the Spacegrau Metallic - A52 color allows for visual integration with other body panels.
• Cost-Effective Alternative – a used part helps reduce expenses while preserving original quality.
• Support for Accident Repairs – quick replacement of a damaged cover without altering the entire mirror assembly.
