The presented right mirror base has been specifically designed for BMW 1 Series E81 and E82 models equipped with the M Sport package.

This ensures the vehicle's exterior styling remains consistent and the mirror adjustment and folding systems function correctly.

Its placement on the right side of the vehicle guarantees proper geometry and viewing angles, as well as compatibility with the factory mounting points in the door. This is particularly crucial for post-accident repairs where precise restoration of the mirror's original position is required.

M Sport Shadow Line High Gloss Finish

The mirror features the distinctive Shadow Line High Gloss finish, which accentuates the sporty character of the M Sport version. The high-gloss surface harmonizes with the window trim, moldings, and other high-gloss painted elements, creating a cohesive and dynamic look for the entire vehicle. This finish is highly valued by users who prioritize maintaining the original BMW aesthetic.

The combination of the sporty housing shape with the glossy finish enhances the car's visual appeal without compromising functionality. The mirror is prepared for integration with heated mirror glass, improving driving safety in rain, snow, and low temperatures.

Functionality: Electric Folding and Heated Glass

The mirror base is designed for configuration with electric folding, allowing for convenient folding of the mirrors after parking or in tight spaces. This feature reduces the risk of mechanical damage and improves the ergonomics of daily car use.

The construction is adapted for the installation of heated mirror glass, enabling rapid clearing of condensation and frost from the mirror surface. This provides the driver with improved visibility in adverse weather conditions, ensuring the entire mirror system remains fully functional year-round.

Using an original, used mirror base is often an economically advantageous solution, allowing for the maintenance of high quality and compliance with factory specifications at a lower repair cost.
