Mirror Purpose and Functions

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is intended for the right side of the vehicle. The electric folding (power fold) design facilitates maneuvering in tight spaces and curb parking, reducing the risk of mechanical damage. The auto-dip function assists the driver when reversing, automatically changing the glass angle, which improves control over the curb line and obstacles in the rear axle area.

The integrated mirror surface heating aids in defogging and de-icing, contributing to stable visibility in rain, fog, and low temperatures. The mirror is designed as a component compatible with the factory electrical systems of the BMW 1 Series E87, promoting seamless integration with the vehicle's existing control system.

Color and Visual Matching

The mirror housing is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, characteristic of BMW's paint palette. The metallic structure of the coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing the part on cars in the same shade. This makes the mirror an aesthetic complement to the vehicle's side profile, maintaining the original stylistic character of the E87 model.

Choosing the correct color is important not only visually but also for service purposes – proper matching reduces installation time and eliminates the need for additional finishing work. For vehicles in a different paint color, the housing can serve as a solid base for potential repainting according to the technology used in paint shops.

Performance Parameters and Installation

The mirror is designed for installation on the right side of the body, in the factory mounting location provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The design allows for integration with the electrical system responsible for:

• electric folding of the mirror body,
• glass position adjustment from inside the vehicle,
• control of the auto-dip function when reversing,
• powering the mirror surface heating system.

As a part from the BMW Exterior Mirrors group, the product is designed to maintain factory geometry, which translates to correct field of vision and compliance with homologation requirements for this model. The used nature of the part allows for economical replacement of a damaged mirror while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications.

Service Application and Benefits of Choice

Using an original mirror with electric folding and auto-dip in the BMW 1 Series E87 allows for the restoration of full functionality to the vehicle's side area after a collision or mechanical damage. Key benefits include:

• maintaining factory functionality – full cooperation with the vehicle's control systems,
• visual consistency with the Black Sapphire Metallic body,
• reasonable repair cost due to the use of a used part with original specifications,
• reduction of adaptation work due to matching factory mounting points.

A mirror configured this way will be suitable both as a replacement part after damage and for upgrading a vehicle to a version equipped with electric folding and the auto-dip function, provided the vehicle's electrical system allows for it.
