Intended Use and Fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is dedicated to the right side of the BMW X3 E83 series in the M Sport version. The construction is designed as an OEM part, which translates to proper fitment with the vehicle's body lines, correct seating in the mounts, and compatibility with the vehicle's factory electrical system.

The Shadow Line / Glanzschwarz finish combined with the Bluewater Metallic paint creates a cohesive, dynamic look characteristic of the M Sport package, without the need for additional modifications or adaptations.

Functionality and Performance Parameters

The mirror is equipped with a heating function, which improves visibility in conditions of rain, snow, and low temperatures, reducing fogging and icing of the glass surface. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle provides the driver with proper field of vision and compliance with the factory mirror geometry settings.

The High Gloss finish housing has been prepared with M Sport package vehicles in mind, thus maintaining visual consistency with the gloss black trim, window surrounds, and other body elements.

Body Color and Aesthetics

The Bluewater Metallic – 896 color is a distinctive metallic shade used on the BMW X3 E83, which accentuates the body lines and pairs well with the contrasting, glossy Shadow Line finish. The use of original paint helps to minimize color discrepancies between the mirror and other body parts, which is important for post-accident repairs and visual restorations.

By adhering to the factory color specification, the mirror can be used both as a replacement part after damage and for the gradual reconstruction of a complete M Sport package on the vehicle.

Condition and Benefits of Using a Used Part

This part comes from the used BMW parts group, allowing for the combination of original specification with a more favorable cost compared to new components. The factory geometry, construction, and mounting method are preserved, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of low-quality aftermarket alternatives.

Choosing an original, used exterior mirror is a particularly beneficial solution for post-accident repairs, where both proper heating function and visual consistency with the rest of the body are important.
