Purpose and fitment for BMW E81/E87

The presented cover has been specifically designed as a component for the left side mirror in BMW E81 and E87 models. The design matches the factory dimensions and geometry of the mirror, which facilitates installation in place of a worn or damaged cover. This ensures that the correct mirror alignment is maintained, as well as the proper lines of the vehicle's side bodywork.

Color and Black Sapphire Metallic finish

The cover is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, a color characteristic of many BMW paint configurations. The metallic black blends well with both dark and lighter body shades, reducing the need for additional painting after installation, provided the vehicle has the same paint code. Such a match helps maintain a cohesive aesthetic and reduces the time required to return the vehicle to use.

Functional characteristics of the component

The mirror cover serves a protective function for the internal components of the side mirror, such as the adjustment mechanism or the mirror glass. A properly fitted cover helps limit the impact of external factors, including moisture and debris, which promotes a longer service life for the entire mirror assembly. Keeping the complete mirror in good condition is important for both driving safety and the vehicle's visual presentation.

Condition of the component and service application

The product is in used condition, making it an attractive service solution for drivers looking for original components at a reasonable price. Such parts are often chosen for post-accident repairs, minor bodywork corrections, or restoring a car to a near-factory state after parking damage. Replacing just the cover allows you to avoid purchasing a complete mirror if the other components are still functional.

Selection support and additional information

The cover is part of a group of components related to side mirrors, so when selecting, it is worth paying attention to the mounting side and color compatibility with the vehicle's paint. In case of doubt, comparing the shape and mounting points with the currently installed mirror can be helpful in assessing compatibility with a specific equipment version.
