Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 1 Series E87 LCI

This exterior mirror has been specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series E87 generation after its facelift (LCI), ensuring a precise fit to the body lines and compatibility with factory mounting points. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle allows for a direct replacement of a damaged part without the need for body modifications or electrical system adjustments.

The original design guarantees the correct mirror geometry, an appropriate field of vision, and seamless integration with the vehicle's factory systems, which is crucial for both safety and regulatory compliance.

Heating Function and User Comfort

The integrated mirror heating function significantly improves the comfort of using the car in conditions of rain, snow, and low temperatures. Faster defogging and de-icing of the mirror surface translates to:

• improved side and rear visibility while driving,
• enhanced clarity of the image in the mirror during high humidity,
• reduced need for manual cleaning of the mirror surface.

This allows the driver to focus on driving, while the mirror effectively supports observation of the surroundings in typical road conditions.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Finish

The mirror is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, a color characteristic of many BMW 1 Series configurations. The metallic black complements the body lines, enhancing the vehicle's cohesive appearance and reducing the need for additional painting for cars in the same shade.

Choosing the correct housing color is not only aesthetically important but also practical – it can shorten body repair times and restore the vehicle to use without additional painting work, provided the car's color matches the mirror's paint code.

Construction, Installation, and Condition of the Part

This mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category, meaning it is a fully functional component of the vehicle's visibility system, and its proper operation impacts driving safety. The design intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle allows it to be used as a replacement for the factory mirror in case of mechanical or operational damage.

The item is offered as used, enabling an economical repair of the car while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs where both technical compliance and cost control are important.
