Characteristics and Purpose

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is designed as a left-side component. It is a part dedicated to the BMW 1 Series E87 in the M Sport package, with a factory Shadow Line finish and Le Mans Blau Metallic paint (code 381), allowing for color consistency of the bodywork without the need for additional painting.

The original OEM construction guarantees correct geometry, stability at higher speeds, and proper field of vision in accordance with manufacturer standards. The mirror is heated, which improves visibility in rain, snow, and low temperatures.

Construction and Finish

The mirror housing in the M Sport version with the Shadow Line features a high gloss finish, which emphasizes the sporty character of the bodywork and complements other trim elements in this package. Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 is a distinctive, dynamic shade of blue, often chosen for more sporty configurations.

The mirror is intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle, which is important for both the shape of the housing and the geometry of the glass. Using an original part avoids issues with fitment, leaks, or improper operation of adjustment mechanisms.

Functionality and Benefits of Installation

Heating the mirror surface reduces fogging and icing, resulting in better visibility in challenging weather conditions. This provides the driver with greater comfort and safety during daily use of the car.

The M Sport version with High Gloss and Shadow Line finish maintains the vehicle's stylistic consistency – especially in cars equipped with an aerodynamic package and dark trim strips. Using an original mirror from the same line eliminates differences in paint shade, gloss, and housing shape, which are common with aftermarket parts.

Condition and Service Application

This part comes from the group of used BMW parts, allowing for economical repairs while maintaining original quality. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where both fitment and cost control are important.

The original exterior mirror in Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 is suitable as a replacement for a damaged part after a collision, parking scrape, or mechanical wear. Thanks to its factory specifications, it is ready to integrate with the vehicle's electrical system, including the heating function.
