Purpose and compatibility with BMW F12/F13

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and has been designed specifically for the BMW 6 Series in F12 (convertible) and F13 (coupé) versions. Its placement on the left side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the factory body geometry, while the OEM construction allows for maintaining proper aerodynamics and the correct field of view for the driver.

Thanks to the use of the original base and housing, the mirror works with the factory mounting points in the door, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper fitment with the body line.

Functionality of the heated mirror

A key feature of this model is the mirror glass heating function, which improves visibility in rain, snow, and low temperatures. The heating system accelerates the evaporation of moisture and the removal of frost, which increases driving safety and daily comfort of using the vehicle.

A heated driver-side mirror is particularly important in city traffic and on the road, where a quick reaction to changing weather conditions has a direct impact on the clarity of the situation on the road.

Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 finish

The mirror housing is finished in Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416, a characteristic, deep metallic black used by BMW. The paint in this shade blends well with both dark and lighter body colors, emphasizing the dynamic character of the 6 Series.

The high-gloss surface gives the mirror an elegant look and allows it to maintain consistency with other painted elements of the vehicle, which is important when replacing a single component after mechanical damage.

Characteristics of the used part

The mirror is a used component, which provides a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing a second-hand part allows for reduced expenses while maintaining the factory look and functionality of the vehicle.

A used wing mirror is a good solution for post-accident repairs, replacement after parking damage, or restoring the car to its original equipment configuration.

Benefits of using an original BMW mirror

• Visual consistency – Carbonschwarz Metallic – 416 paint allows for a uniform look of the side of the body.
