Intended Use and Function in the Vehicle

The mirror is intended for the right side of the body, which is important for both the glass geometry and the routing of the electrical harness in the passenger door. The construction corresponds to the factory BMW solution for the 1 Series E87, ensuring correct visibility in the side area and compatibility with factory mounting points.

This component belongs to the Exterior Mirrors group, responsible for the safety of observing the vehicle's surroundings, especially when changing lanes, maneuvering, and parking in urban conditions.

Quarzblau Metallic A18 Paint Color and Match

The mirror housing is finished in Quarzblau Metallic – A18, characteristic of BMW's paint palette. This allows for maintaining a consistent body styling line without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same color code. The metallic paint structure ensures an aesthetically pleasing visual appearance and a correct match to the factory body finish.

Electric Functions: Folding and Heating

The mirror is equipped with an electric folding function, allowing the housing to be folded inwards within the vehicle's outline from the cabin controls. This solution reduces the risk of damage when parking in tight spaces and facilitates maneuvering in garages and narrow streets.

The integrated mirror glass heating supports maintaining clear visibility in conditions of low temperature, rain, or snow. Integration with the vehicle's electrical system allows for automatic or manual control of the heating function (depending on the car's configuration), improving driving safety during the autumn and winter seasons.

Characteristics as an Original BMW Part

As an OEM BMW part, the mirror maintains factory geometry, angle of inclination, and adjustment mechanism operation. Proper fitting with doors and seals minimizes the risk of air noise and leaks. Using an original part allows for maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications without the need for aftermarket replacements with uncertain parameters.

The used condition means the component comes from disassembly but retains the functionality necessary for further operation after proper installation and configuration in the vehicle.

Practical Benefits of Installation

• Restoration of full functionality of the right mirror in the BMW 1 Series E87.
• Color consistency with Quarzblau Metallic A18 paint for vehicles with the corresponding paint code.
• Convenient electric folding that reduces the risk of damage during parking.
• Mirror glass heating that improves visibility in adverse weather conditions.
• Maintenance of factory characteristics of the mechanism and adjustment.
