Purpose and fitment

The presented cover is dedicated to the right exterior mirror in BMW 1 Series E81/E87 facelift (LCI) models. The housing design complies with the manufacturer's factory standard, which facilitates installation in place of the damaged part without the need for modifications. By maintaining the correct shape and mounting points, the part ensures proper fitment with the mirror glass and base, as well as stable retention at higher speeds.

Color and finish Black Sapphire Metallic - 475

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 shade is a popular BMW metallic paint that blends well with both light and dark body elements. Using the original color reduces the need for additional painting, which shortens repair time and lowers costs. The metallic finish improves visual consistency with other body panels, and the properly matched shade helps avoid tonal differences visible in daylight.

Technical characteristics and installation

The mirror cover is designed as an exterior element, whose task is to protect the internal mirror components and provide it with the correct aerodynamic shape. Placement on the vehicle on the right side ensures compatibility with the factory passenger mirror in LCI versions. Installation involves seating the housing on the existing mirror base and snapping it into the provided mounting points, which, with proper care, can be carried out in workshop or service conditions.

Used condition and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The item is offered as used, which allows for combining reasonable repair costs with maintaining the original BMW specification. Choosing a factory housing from dismantling is a particularly beneficial solution when you care about the proper fit of shape, color, and quality of workmanship to the rest of the body elements. A used mirror cover is a functional alternative to replacements, minimizing the risk of installation problems and differences in paint shade.
