Mirror Characteristics and Purpose

The presented mirror is dedicated to the facelifted (LCI) BMW 1 Series, generation E87, and is designed for mounting on the right side of the vehicle. The construction adheres to BMW's factory standards, ensuring an appropriate field of vision, stability at higher speeds, and a cohesive appearance with the car's body lines.

The heated mirror glass helps maintain clarity in rain, snow, and low temperatures, enhancing safety during daily use. This provides the driver with better visibility in the side mirror without the need to manually clear fog or frost.

Color and Visual Matching

The mirror is finished in the factory color Schwarz 2 – 668, allowing for stylistic consistency with the original body paint in this shade. For owners of the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI, this means the possibility of an aesthetic replacement for a damaged mirror without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same color code.

The original surface finish ensures conformity with BMW's styling – from the housing shape and proportions to the characteristic mirror profile used in this generation of the 1 Series.

Functionality and Technical Aspects

The heated right exterior mirror is designed for everyday use in various weather conditions. This component works with the factory mirror control system in the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI, facilitating integration with the vehicle's existing electrical system.

Key benefits of using this mirror include:

• increased passenger-side visibility due to appropriately selected mirror geometry,
• heated mirror glass supporting comfort and safety in colder months,
• factory fitment to the 1 Series E87 LCI body, without the need for mounting modifications.

Condition and Practical Application

The mirror is from the BMW range and is a used part, offering a sensible compromise between cost and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. For many BMW 1 Series E87 LCI users, this is an effective way to restore full functionality to the right mirror after a collision, parking damage, or wear and tear.

Choosing a used, original mirror allows for maintaining factory fitment to the doors, proper wiring routing, and compatibility with the vehicle's systems, which is particularly important for body parts connected to the electrical system.
