Purpose and compatibility for BMW E90/E91 LCI

The cover is designed as a housing component for the right exterior mirror on the facelift (LCI) version of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91. The construction matches the factory dimensions and shape of the mirror, allowing for installation in place of the original cover without interfering with the mirror base, glass, or electrical wiring.

The component is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, which is important for both aerodynamics and proper alignment with the door and pillar lines. Thanks to the retention of the original geometry, compatibility with the stock mirrors used in this BMW generation is ensured.

Spacegrau Metallic A52 color and aesthetic values

The cover is finished in the factory Spacegrau Metallic – A52 color, characteristic of many BMW 3 Series vehicles. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the original body paint, which reduces the need for additional painting in the case of well-maintained vehicle paintwork.

Selecting a component in the same color code allows you to:

• maintain a uniform stylistic line of the side body section,
• minimize shade differences between the mirror, door, and fender,
• speed up the visual repair process after a collision or parking damage.

Performance characteristics and protective function

The mirror housing cover plays an important protective role for the adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass, shielding them from weather conditions and minor mechanical damage. A correctly selected and installed component helps prevent moisture and dirt from entering the mirror, which promotes a longer service life for the adjustment mechanisms.

As a part from the Exterior mirrors group, the cover also affects operational safety – a stable and complete mirror housing makes it easier to maintain a proper field of view and eliminates the risk of additional vibrations of the mirror glass while driving.

Condition, service application, and installation

The item is in used condition, making it a practical service solution for post-accident or maintenance repairs where functionality and compliance with the original design are the priority. A used mirror housing cover allows for an economical replacement of a damaged part while maintaining the vehicle's factory character.

Installation involves replacing the damaged cover with a compatible part and – provided the correct mirror removal procedure is followed – can be performed at a standard body shop or a workshop specializing in the BMW brand. The original construction facilitates proper alignment with the remaining mirror components.
