Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is designed for installation on the right side of the BMW F20 series vehicle. The design has been engineered to maintain factory visibility geometry, which translates into a clear view of the side and rear zones while driving and maneuvering.

The component is equipped with glass heating, which reduces fogging and frost accumulation in colder conditions. The automatic dipping function when shifting into reverse gear facilitates the observation of curbs and parking lines, improving safety during precise maneuvers.

Color and body integration

The Mineral White Metallic – A96 paint is a distinctive, elegant metallic white shade used in the BMW range. Using the original color allows for visual consistency with other body elements, without the need for additional painting when properly matched to the car.

The metallic structure of the coating harmonizes well with the body lines of the F20 series, emphasizing the modern character of the vehicle. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged mirror on vehicles already painted in this color code.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The mirror is an original BMW component, which means it maintains factory manufacturing standards, geometry, and electrical compatibility with the vehicle's wiring. As a result, installation is predictable, and all functions – including heating and auto dip – can operate according to the manufacturer's specifications after proper installation.

As a used part, it represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original quality. It is a practical solution for post-accident repairs when it is essential to quickly restore full functionality of the side zone without sacrificing comfort features.

• Original BMW construction – secure fit to the door and electrical system.
• Glass heating – improved visibility in rain and low temperatures.
• Automatic dipping when reversing – more convenient parking and better curb control.
• Factory color Mineral White Metallic – A96 – aesthetic integration with the body.
