Technical characteristics and fitment

The presented mirror has been designed as a component mounted on the right side of the BMW 1 Series E87 body, maintaining factory mounting points and housing geometry. The design includes an integrated heating function, which allows for the rapid removal of steam and frost from the glass surface, increasing driving safety in rain, fog, and low temperatures. Thanks to the use of the original housing and correct geometry, the mirror works with standard adjustment settings and provides a stable image without vibrations while driving.

Quarzblau Metallic A18 color and body aesthetics

The factory Quarzblau Metallic A18 color is a characteristic metallic shade of blue used by BMW, which emphasizes the body lines and gives the vehicle a cohesive, elegant look. Using original paint on the mirror housing reduces the need for additional painting and makes it easier to maintain a uniform body color. For users who care about the visual continuity of side elements, such color matching is important both in terms of aesthetics and the potential resale value of the vehicle.

Functionality of the heated mirror

The heated outside mirror on the right side plays an important role in the daily operation of the car, especially in climates with variable weather conditions. The integrated heating system:

• accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the glass surface,
• reduces the accumulation of frost and ice,
• improves visibility in the blind spot area,
• supports the operation of standard safety systems that depend on mirror visibility.

Thanks to this, the driver receives a stable field of view on the right side of the vehicle, which is particularly important when changing lanes, maneuvering in the city, and parallel parking.

Used condition and economic benefits

The mirror comes from dismantling, which allows combining the functionality of an original BMW component with a more favorable cost level compared to a new part. For many users, this is a rational choice for accident repairs or replacing a damaged mirror, as they retain factory fitment and compatibility while optimizing the budget allocated for body service.

Application in service and body repairs

The heated right outside mirror for the BMW E87 will work well in both professional body and paint shops and in service centers specializing in the BMW brand. It can be used for:

• repairs after side collisions,
• replacing mechanically or thermally damaged elements,
• restoring full functionality of the mirror system,
• upgrading the vehicle from a version without heating to a configuration with a heating function (while maintaining electrical installation requirements).

Thanks to the preservation of the original design, the installation proceeds in a manner similar to the factory one, which facilitates the work of service centers and reduces the risk of fitment problems.
