Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 3 E90

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and has been specifically designed for the BMW 3 Series E90, taking into account the requirements of the M Sport version. Its placement on the vehicle is designated as the right side, which simplifies unambiguous selection of the part when replacing a damaged mirror or completing bodywork after repairs.

Its original BMW origin promotes proper fitment with the door, maintaining correct geometry and compatibility with the vehicle's factory electrical system. This allows the mirror to be used as a replacement for the original part without the need for modifications to wiring harnesses or mounting points.

Electrical Functions and User Comfort

The mirror is equipped with a heating function, which improves visibility in conditions of rain, snow, and low temperatures by reducing fogging and icing of the glass surface. The integrated Power Fold mechanism allows for convenient folding of the mirror from inside the vehicle, which is particularly useful when parking in tight spaces.

The presence of the Auto Dip function aids in maneuvering – the mirror can automatically change position when reversing, facilitating observation of the curb and the area around the vehicle. This solution enhances safety and parking precision, especially in urban driving conditions.

High Gloss Shadow Line Finish and M Sport Styling

The Glanzschwarz / Shadow Line finish gives the mirror a distinctive, glossy appearance that harmonizes with the factory Shadow Line trim used in BMW vehicles. This surface treatment helps maintain visual consistency of the bodywork, especially in vehicles with the M Sport package, where styling details are crucial for the overall aesthetic of the car.

The mirror's construction is adapted to the M Sport line, meaning the housing shape and proportions are consistent with the original BMW design. As a result, this part not only restores full functionality but also preserves the vehicle's sporty character.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

This part is from the BMW offering and is designated as used, making it an attractive alternative to new parts while maintaining original specifications. This type of mirror is suitable for both standard replacement after a collision and for completing bodywork during sheet metal and paint repairs.

Thanks to the presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specifications, precise verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version, including electrical systems and comfort systems, is possible. This reduces the risk of selecting the wrong variant and speeds up the service process.
