Purpose and compatibility with BMW 3 Series E90

BMW 3 Series 4 E90 M Sport High Gloss Right Wing Mirror O/S Sparkling Graphite has been designed specifically for the 3 Series E90 generation body in the M Sport package. The housing construction, mounting angle, and mirror glass shape are adapted to factory mounting points, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged component without the need for modifications. The use of original geometry ensures a correct field of view and compatibility with factory mirror position settings.

High Gloss finish and Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color

The mirror housing is finished in the characteristic, glossy M Sport style, which emphasizes the dynamic character of the body. Sparkling Graphite Metallic A22 color is a dark, metallic shade of graphite that works well with both light and dark BMW base coats. As a result, the mirror can be used as a replacement part in vehicles with the same paint code, maintaining visual consistency without the need for immediate painting.

Functionality and user features

The mirror belongs to the Wing mirrors group, responsible for safety and comfort when observing the vehicle's surroundings. The design includes integrated solutions typical for the M Sport version, including an aerodynamic housing shape and compatibility with the car's factory electrical installations. The user gains a stable image in the mirror, appropriate blind spot coverage, and the ability to maintain the original appearance of the side of the body.

Characteristics of the used item

The offered item is in used condition, which means it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of wear typical for body components. At the same time, mounting functionality is preserved, and the housing and mounts allow for reuse in another car. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between the purchase cost and maintaining the original quality of workmanship characteristic of the BMW brand.

Mounting zone and body integration

The mirror is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, in the place of the factory mount on the door. The appropriately selected tilt angle and housing profile ensure proper water drainage and reduction of air turbulence at higher speeds. Thanks to this, the driver receives a clear image in the mirror, and the whole remains consistent with the side line of the 3 Series E90 body in the M Sport package.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side body zone in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as right and left mirrors, housings, or mirror glass, check the available parts in the BMW wing mirrors category.
