Mirror Purpose and Functions

The presented left exterior mirror for BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI is designed as a driver's side component. The construction features electric folding (power fold), which facilitates parking in tight spaces and reduces the risk of mechanical damage when stationary.

The auto-dip function aids in reversing maneuvers – the mirror can automatically adjust its position to improve visibility of the curb and the rear wheel area, which is particularly useful for parallel parking. The integrated heating technology (heated) helps maintain a clear view in conditions of rain, snow, and low temperatures.

Color and Visual Matching

The Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 paint is a popular metallic shade used by BMW, which complements the body lines of the 3 Series. Thanks to its factory finish, the mirror harmoniously integrates with the car's styling, eliminating the need for additional painting if the same color code is maintained.

The housing is designed to maintain proper aerodynamics and reduce wind noise at higher speeds, contributing to acoustic comfort inside the cabin.

Technical Aspect and Compatibility

The mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is an OEM BMW part, meaning it is compatible with factory mounting points and the vehicle's electrical system. This ensures a straightforward installation without the need for structural modifications or wiring adaptations.

The presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specifications facilitates verification of compatibility with specific equipment versions and car model years. This is particularly important when selecting a mirror for LCI (facelifted) vehicles, which may differ from earlier versions.

Condition and Benefits of Using a Used Part

The item is offered as a used part, allowing for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original quality of workmanship characteristic of BMW. In practice, this means the possibility of restoring full functionality to the side visibility area without the need to invest in a new component.

Choosing an original, used mirror with electric folding and auto-dip functions is particularly beneficial where maintaining conformity with factory equipment is important, both electrically and visually.
