Mirror purpose and functions

The presented exterior mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is designed specifically for the right side of the BMW F45 body. Its placement on the passenger side ensures proper blind-spot coverage and a stable field of view during city and highway driving.

The built-in power folding mechanism allows the mirror to be folded from inside the vehicle, which reduces the risk of damage when parking in tight spaces. The automatic tilt-down function when shifting into reverse gear facilitates observation of the curb and parking lines, which translates into more precise maneuvers and a lower risk of damaging rims or tires.

Color and visual fit

The mirror is finished in the factory color Imperial Blue Metallic – A89, characteristic of many BMW F45 configurations. Thanks to this, the component harmoniously blends into the side line of the body without the need for additional painting if matching the same paint code.

The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the original body finish, and the properly selected shade minimizes visual differences between the mirror and other body panels. This is a particularly beneficial solution when replacing a damaged mirror in cars where maintaining the factory look is a priority.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror comes from the secondary market, which means it is a used item but still intended for further use. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs and when replacing individual body parts, where it is important to combine reasonable costs with maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications.

Using an original used mirror allows for maintaining compatibility with the factory door construction, electrical installation, and mounting geometry, which facilitates installation and limits the need for additional modifications. This is a practical solution for both workshops and individual users who care about the technical consistency of the vehicle.

Benefits of using the original BMW F45 mirror

• Reproduction of the factory shape and geometry, which translates into the correct field of view on the passenger side.
• Integration with the power folding system, increasing mirror protection during parking.
• Automatic tilt-down when reversing, supporting precise maneuvering in tight spaces.
• Finish in a color consistent with the Imperial Blue Metallic – A89 paint code, promoting the maintenance of a consistent body aesthetic.
• Cost savings through the use of a used component while maintaining the original BMW specification.
