Purpose and fitment

The mirror cover cap has been designed specifically for BMW E81 and E87 series models, ensuring a proper fit to the mirror geometry and stable mounting. The component is intended for the right side of the vehicle, restoring the correct appearance and functionality of the mirror following mechanical or operational damage.

Thanks to a design consistent with factory specifications, the housing works seamlessly with the standard mirror glass, adjustment mechanism, and turn signal (if present in the specific vehicle configuration), without the need for any mounting modifications.

Color and finish

The factory Sydneyblau Metallic - A19 paint allows for a uniform body shade, which is particularly important for local repairs following collisions or parking scrapes. The metallic coating provides the depth of color characteristic of BMW and correct light reflection, meaning that replacing the cover alone does not require repainting the entire element, provided the condition of the coating is visually satisfactory.

The original surface finish also makes it easier to keep the mirror clean and reduces the visibility of minor dirt and scratches typical of daily use.

Characteristics of the used component

The cover comes from the used parts segment, which helps reduce repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly beneficial for spot repairs, where combining a proper fit with a reasonable service budget is key.

Choosing a used mirror housing is a solution frequently used in professional body and paint shops, especially when repairing older vehicles where functionality, compliance with factory design, and cost control are the priorities.

Benefits of using an original mirror cover

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the BMW E81/E87 mirror structure reduces the risk of play, vibrations, and assembly issues.
• Color consistency – the paint in the Sydneyblau Metallic - A19 shade helps maintain a uniform look for the right side of the vehicle.
• Savings compared to a new part – a used component enables an economical repair without sacrificing original quality.
• Quick replacement – the design, consistent with the factory solution, facilitates installation in workshop conditions.
