The high-gloss mirror housing emphasizes the dynamic character of the 3 Series E90 M Sport version. The use of a gloss black finish allows for:

• aesthetic matching with the factory Shadowline package,
• achieving a cohesive side profile of the vehicle,
• maintaining the car's original appearance after replacing the part.

This ensures the mirror blends seamlessly with other body components, and replacing a damaged part does not result in color or texture discrepancies on the side of the car.
