Application and Fitment for BMW X3 E83

The presented mirror is intended for installation on the left side of the body in the BMW X3 E83 Sport model. The construction based on the factory BMW design guarantees proper door fitment, correct setting geometry, and compatibility with factory mounting points. This allows the part to be used both for replacing a damaged mirror and for restoring the original equipment configuration.

High Gloss Shadow Line Finish and Black Sapphire Color

The mirror features a sporty Shadow Line finish with a high-gloss surface, emphasizing the dynamic character of the Sport version. The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color allows for consistency with the factory body paint in this shade, eliminating the need for additional painting if the color matches. This combination aids in the aesthetic restoration of the vehicle's side and maintains BMW's characteristic styling line.

Functionality of the Heated Mirror

The built-in heating function improves visibility in rain, snow, and low temperatures by reducing fogging and frost buildup on the glass surface. The use of original heating construction enables cooperation with the vehicle's factory electrical systems, facilitating installation and ensuring stable operation in daily use. This practical solution enhances driving safety, especially during the autumn and winter seasons.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The mirror is a used part from disassembly, offered for economical vehicle repair while maintaining original BMW specifications. Such components are often chosen for accident repairs and for replacing individual body parts when structural and visual conformity with factory equipment is a priority. A used part from the Exterior Mirrors group offers a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the car's original character.

Compatibility of Numbers and Part Group

The mirror has a dedicated OEM part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with specific BMW X3 E83 Sport configurations. This allows for precise selection of the part for your vehicle, minimizing the risk of installation issues. The presence of these markings is particularly important when comparing components within the same model generation.
