Purpose and Function of the Part

The mirror cover is designed for installation on the left side of the vehicle in BMW 1 Series E81/E87 models. It is responsible for shielding the mirror housing, protecting the adjustment mechanism, and the mirror glass from external factors. As a part from the Mirror Glass group, it works in conjunction with the mirror glass to form a complete side mirror assembly.

The factory Black Sapphire Metallic 475 color ensures paint consistency across the entire body, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs, replacement after scratches, or restoring the vehicle to its original manufacturer specifications.

Technical Specifications and Fitment

The cover has been specifically designed for the left-hand mirror, guaranteeing correct geometry, a precise fit to the housing shape, and proper adhesion to the mirror base. The appropriate edge profile facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of gaps, vibrations, or unwanted noises during driving.

The part features dedicated mounting points for the original BMW mirror construction, allowing it to be used as a replacement for a damaged cover without the need for modifications to the mirror housing. The use of original metallic paint ensures proper light reflection and consistency with the factory body finish.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

The mirror cover is offered as a used part, enabling an economical repair while maintaining original BMW specifications. This is a practical solution for:

• Replacement after a collision or parking damage,
• Completing a missing mirror part,
• Body and paint repairs where maintaining the original color is required.

Using an original cover helps maintain proper mirror aerodynamics, reduce wind noise, and ensure stable mounting of the mirror glass. This is especially important during daily use when the mirror is exposed to vibrations, temperature changes, and moisture.

Why Choose This BMW Mirror Cover

Choosing the original cover in Black Sapphire Metallic 475 is a way to maintain a cohesive body appearance without the need for additional painting. Precise fitment for the left-hand mirror simplifies installation and reduces repair time, while compliance with factory BMW specifications helps avoid compatibility issues.
