Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 3 E90 LCI M Sport

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is intended for the left side of the vehicle. The design corresponds to the facelifted (LCI) version of the 3 Series E90 with the M Sport package, which means correct housing proportions, alignment with the door line, and a characteristic sporty finish.

Original BMW origin guarantees adherence to factory mounting parameters, such as mounting geometry, adjustment angle, and compatibility with factory wiring harnesses intended for this type of mirror.

High Gloss Finish and Spacegrau Metallic A52 Color

The mirror housing features a high-gloss High Gloss finish, characteristic of the Shadow Line used in M Sport versions. This type of paintwork emphasizes the car's sporty character and complements dark body trim elements.

The Spacegrau Metallic A52 color is a factory BMW shade of metallic gray that ensures visual consistency with the body paint in the same code. Therefore, the mirror does not require additional painting after installation, provided the vehicle has the identical factory color.

Mirror Functionality and Technical Features

The mirror is designed as an electric component with a heating function, facilitating use in winter conditions and high humidity. The use of Shadow Line technology means a dark, glossy frame finish that harmonizes with other styling elements of the M Sport package.

As an OEM part, the mirror is prepared to work with the factory adjustment and control systems in the BMW 3 Series E90 LCI, allowing for full functionality after replacing a damaged component.

Condition, Service Application, and Benefits of Installation

The part is used, making it a sensible choice for post-accident or service repairs where maintaining original specifications while optimizing costs is a priority. The original design ensures proper fitment with doors, seals, and trim, without the need for modifications.

Replacing the mirror with an original part from the same series helps maintain the vehicle's visual consistency, preserve factory aerodynamics, and ensure correct driver's side field of vision, which is important for both safety and driving comfort.

Interchange Numbers and BMW Catalog Compatibility

The mirror has assigned interchange numbers in the BMW catalog, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration. This allows for precise matching of the part to the equipment version, taking into account, among other things, the Shadow Line finish and the heating function.
