Purpose and vehicle function

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for the left side of the vehicle. The design, tailored to the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI, allows for maintaining the driver's correct field of vision and compatibility with factory mounting points on the door.

The power fold version facilitates daily vehicle use in tight parking spaces, protecting the housing against accidental mechanical damage. The mirror housing geometry is consistent with the BMW body line, which reduces wind noise and supports acoustic comfort inside the cabin.

Finish and Le Mans Blau Metallic color

The Le Mans Blau Metallic paint with code 381 is a characteristic, dynamic shade of blue used on sport-styled BMW models. Using this color on the mirror housing allows for consistency with the factory body finish and emphasizes the vehicle's side profile.

The metallic paint coating provides attractive color depth in daylight and artificial light, and the correctly matched shade facilitates visual alignment with other body components. This is particularly important when replacing a single mirror after mechanical damage or a collision.

Construction and functional features

The mirror housing has been designed with BMW's serial solutions in mind, which translates into proper fitment with the door and stable mounting on the vehicle. The integrated power folding mechanism allows for convenient mirror retraction from inside the car, which is practical in urban traffic.

The used component retains the functionality characteristic of original BMW solutions, and the housing construction is compatible with factory wiring and vehicle controls (depending on the specific vehicle's equipment). As a result, the mirror can serve as an effective replacement for a damaged element without the need for installation modifications.

Practical application and benefits of installation

Installing this mirror is particularly beneficial in situations where the existing element has suffered mechanical damage, has a cracked housing, or a faulty folding mechanism. Replacing it with an original, used component allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining the proper fit to the BMW body.

The main advantages include:

• factory geometry and fitment for the left-side door,
• power folding for easier parking,
• color consistency with Le Mans Blau Metallic paint,
• preservation of the characteristic styling of the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI.

Mirror selection and additional information

To correctly select a mirror for a specific BMW, it is worth verifying the vehicle's equipment compatibility and the type of mirror used on the left side. Manufacturer markings and reference numbers assigned to this version are helpful in this regard, facilitating matching in parts catalogs.
