Technical and functional characteristics

This BMW F40 interior rearview mirror is a rearview mirror designed for the rear of the cabin. Its EC photochromatic design automatically reduces glare from following vehicle headlights, improving comfort and clarity of vision after dark.

Integrated LED lighting provides even, pleasant illumination of selected interior areas without excessive driver distraction. This solution supports the ergonomics of operating the vehicle in the dark, making it easier to use the cabin while maintaining a clear view of the road.

Intended use and fit for BMW F40

The mirror was developed specifically for the BMW F40 platform, maintaining the factory mounting geometry and viewing angles. This means:

• consistent design with other BMW interior trim elements,
• predictable field of view adapted to the ergonomics of the F40 cabin,
• easier installation in place of the original mirror without the need for structural modifications.

As an OEM rearview mirror component, the product is designed to work with the factory electrical installation responsible for the photochromatic function and LED lighting, which helps maintain the full functionality of the comfort systems.

Condition, Origin, and the Benefits of Choosing a Used OEM

The mirror is offered in used condition, meaning it has been dismantled from a vehicle and may show signs of normal wear and tear, but is still functional. Choosing this solution offers several practical advantages:

• factory fit with headliner and windshield,
• the possibility of economical repair or restoration of interior fittings after a collision or damage.
