Purpose and fitment for BMW E87 LCI

The presented mirror is intended for the right side of the vehicle, which is crucial for correct installation and field-of-view geometry. The design corresponds to the facelift (LCI) version, ensuring compatibility with the body lines, housing shape, and the characteristic mirror profile used in the BMW 1 Series E87. As an item from the Outside Mirrors category, the part has been designed to work with factory mounting points in the door, the electrical installation, and the glass adjustment system. This facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional modifications.

Montegoblau Metallic A51 color and visual aspect

The mirror is finished in Montegoblau Metallic – A51, also known as Montego Blue, characteristic of the BMW palette. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which allows for avoiding additional painting when replacing the component on a car of the same color. The selection of the original shade is not only aesthetically important but also practical – maintaining a uniform body color affects the vehicle's value and reduces the risk of visible color differences between individual body panels.

Functionality of the heated mirror

The heated passenger-side outside mirror increases driving safety in rain, snow, and low-temperature conditions. The built-in heating function accelerates the evaporation of moisture and the removal of frost from the glass surface, which improves visibility and reduces blind spots. In practice, this means:

• more efficient cleaning of the mirror surface at low temperatures,
• better control of the situation in the lane next to the vehicle,
• increased comfort of use in daily operation.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered mirror is a used component, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged part while maintaining the original BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs and restoring the car to its factory configuration. Choosing an original, used outside mirror allows for maintaining proper fitment with the door, the correct adjustment angle, and compatibility with the vehicle's electrical system, which is important from the point of view of durability and proper operation in the long term.
