Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 1 Series E87

The presented mirror has been specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series E87 and is mounted on the right side of the vehicle. The construction aligns with factory mounting points, facilitating installation and ensuring proper positioning relative to the body and windows.

By maintaining the original housing and mirror geometry, the driver receives an appropriate field of vision, consistent with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. This is particularly important when maneuvering in urban traffic and when driving at higher speeds.

Electrical Functions: Power Fold and Auto Dip

The mirror is equipped with the electric folding (power fold) function, allowing for convenient folding of the housing from within the vehicle. This feature reduces the risk of damage when parking in tight spaces and facilitates maneuvering in confined areas.

Additionally, the auto-dip function is incorporated, which automatically tilts the mirror when reversing (depending on vehicle configuration). This aids in observing curbs and parking lines, leading to more precise parking and a reduced risk of damaging wheels or tires.

Color and Aesthetics: Black Sapphire Metallic – 475

The mirror housing is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, a color characteristic of many BMW configurations. The metallic black complements both dark and lighter body paint colors, and for cars in the same color, it helps maintain a consistent, factory look.

For BMW 1 Series E87 owners, this means the possibility of replacing a damaged mirror without immediate repainting, provided the vehicle's paint matches the color code. This is a practical solution for accident repairs and general maintenance.

Functional Characteristics and Installation

As a component from the Exterior Mirrors group, the product combines safety with user convenience. The appropriately sized mirror surface provides a clear view of the surroundings, and the electric control (including folding and auto-dip) enhances ergonomics for the driver.

The mirror is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, which is particularly relevant for right-hand drive cars where it is the driver's side mirror. The design is intended to work with the factory BMW electrical system, facilitating integration with existing vehicle systems.

Why Choose a Used BMW Mirror

Choosing a used exterior mirror for the BMW 1 Series E87 is a sensible option for drivers who wish to maintain the car's original character while optimizing repair costs. Original parts from dismantling typically integrate better with the body lines than random aftermarket replacements, and their parameters are consistent with the manufacturer's original specifications.
