Purpose and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is designed for the left side of the vehicle, which is crucial for correct installation and the driver's field of view geometry. The design is based on the factory BMW solution, ensuring compatibility with the body line, mounting points, and electrical installation specific to the M Sport Shadow Line High Gloss version with folding function.

Its original BMW OE origin means that the housing shape, mirror geometry, and electrical wiring routing are optimized for specific E-generation 1 and 2 Series models, facilitating integration with the vehicle's factory systems.

Key technical features

The mirror is equipped with power folding, which allows for convenient folding of the unit from inside the vehicle, reducing the risk of damage when parking in tight spaces. The integrated mirror heating helps maintain clarity in rain, snow, and low temperatures, improving driving safety.

The Shadow Line High Gloss finish ensures consistency with the M Sport styling package – the housing surface has a characteristic glossy look that emphasizes the dynamic body line and blends well with other trim elements in this equipment variant.

Condition and service application

The item is in used condition, making it a reasonable choice for accident repairs, replacing a damaged mirror, or restoring the completeness of the M Sport package in BMW 1 and 2 Series cars.
