Intended Use and Fitment for BMW F30/F31

The housing is designed as an external part of the right mirror for BMW 3 Series generation F30/F31. Due to its factory origin, it maintains the correct body lines, characteristic contours, and compatibility with the standard mirror construction, ensuring secure mounting and proper alignment with the doors and other side panel elements.

This part is suitable wherever only the housing needs replacement – for example, after a parking scrape, crack, or mechanical damage – without the need to interfere with the mirror glass, motors, or electrical system.

Estoril Blau Metallic – B45 Color

The factory paint Estoril Blau Metallic – B45 is a distinctive, dynamic shade of blue used on sport-styled BMW versions. Applying the original color to the mirror housing allows you to:

• maintain visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle,
• minimize the need for additional painting,
• ensure conformity with the styling of the factory body kit.

For many BMW F30/F31 owners, this is important not only for aesthetics but also for the vehicle's value upon resale – maintaining the original body color is a clear advantage.

Component Characteristics and Installation

The mirror housing belongs to the Mirror Components group, meaning it is responsible for protecting the internal components of the mirror and shaping the aerodynamics in the vehicle's side area. The design intended for the right side ensures proper adhesion to the mirror body and reduces unwanted wind noise during driving.

As a used part, it may show signs of wear typical for dismantled components, but it retains the functionality required for continued use after proper installation. Replacing the housing is usually done by removing the outer mirror shell and transferring the new part onto the existing body, without the need for installation modifications.

Benefits of Using an Original Mirror Housing

Using an original mirror housing in Estoril Blau Metallic offers several practical benefits:

• Precise Fitment – maintains factory gaps and body lines without the need for adjusting aftermarket replacements.
• Stylistic Consistency – matches the factory paint and the visual character of the BMW F30/F31.
• Mirror Mechanism Protection – a properly fitted housing shields the mirror's interior from external factors.
