Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E90 LCI

This mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is designed for installation on the left side of the vehicle, i.e., the driver's side. Its construction is compatible with the post-facelift (LCI) BMW 3 Series E90 body version, meaning it aligns with the door lines, base shape, and characteristic housing profile used in this generation.

Its placement on the left side of the vehicle ensures proper visibility and operational ergonomics, in line with the manufacturer's original specifications. This mirror is an OEM part from BMW, which translates to a precise fit with the doors, stable mounting, and compatibility with the vehicle's factory wiring harnesses.

High Gloss Finish and Black Sapphire Metallic Color

The mirror housing features an attractive, glossy High Gloss finish, characteristic of Shadow Line / Glanzschwarz packages. The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is a popular metallic black shade used by BMW, adding depth and a modern character to the vehicle's exterior. The combination of metallic black with a glossy finish makes the mirror look appealing in both daylight and artificial light.

This finish is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged mirror on cars factory-equipped with the Shadow Line package, as it allows for stylistic consistency along the entire side profile of the vehicle without the need for additional visual modifications.

Functionality and Technical Features

The mirror is equipped with a heating function, which improves visibility in rain, snow, and low temperatures. The heated glass surface reduces fogging and frost buildup, enhancing driving safety and user comfort during the autumn and winter seasons.

The "EM" designation indicates electric control of the adjustment mechanism, allowing for precise setting of the field of view from inside the car. The use of original BMW construction ensures proper integration with factory switches and control modules, without requiring any wiring modifications.

Condition, Mounting Advantages, and Application

This part is used, offering an economical replacement for a damaged mirror while maintaining original manufacturing quality. Thanks to its factory design, installation is similar to BMW's service procedures, and once correctly mounted, the mirror provides stability and a secure connection to the door.

The main advantages of this mirror include:

• Original BMW OEM construction,
• Dedicated placement on the left side of the vehicle,
• Heated mirror surface for increased safety,
• High Gloss finish in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475,
• Stylistic consistency with the Shadow Line / Glanzschwarz package.
