This part is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, thus preserving the correct geometry and aerodynamics of the mirror, as well as stylistic consistency with the left side of the bodywork.

Black Sapphire Metallic Color and Finish

The housing is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic, a color characteristic of many BMW paint configurations. This metallic black complements both light and dark body shades, allowing for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged cover without altering the mirror's structure.

For users who wish to maintain the car's original character, using the factory paint shade minimizes the need for additional painting or color matching, shortening repair time and simplifying the service process.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The mirror housing cover is a used part, sourced from dismantling. Such components are often chosen for accident repairs and for replacing damaged exterior parts, as they allow for maintaining original quality of workmanship at controlled service costs.

For bodywork components like mirror housings, using a used part enables visual and structural matching with other components, without the need to use aftermarket alternatives with different geometry or surface finish types.
