Purpose and function of the mechanism

The offered mechanism is dedicated to the right-hand mirror of the BMW 1 Series E87 facelift (LCI) model and is responsible for the electric folding drive of the mirror housing. This component works with the vehicle's factory wiring, executing the mirror's rotational movement upon activation via the cabin switch or a signal from the comfort module.

The vehicle placement specified as Right means that the component is intended exclusively for the right side of the body, which is crucial for the correct fitment and operation of the entire mirror assembly.

Construction and BMW fitment

The folding mechanism is a structural element mounted inside the mirror housing, serving as a base for other components such as the glass, turn signal, or cover (if present in the vehicle's specific configuration). As a part from the External Mirrors group, it has been designed to properly transfer torque and ensure stable positioning of the mirror in both unfolded and folded states.

Thanks to the use of original mounting geometry and the correct pivot axis profile, the mechanism ensures proper alignment with the factory door mount and minimizes the risk of play or incorrect mirror positioning relative to the bodywork.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The product comes from the BMW brand and is classified as a used original part. This means it retains its factory performance characteristics and vehicle compatibility, while serving as an economical alternative to new components. Choosing such a solution allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining an appropriate quality level.

A used mirror folding mechanism is a particularly advantageous option in the case of damage caused by parking collisions or operational wear of the drive, when it is necessary to replace the entire drive module rather than the whole mirror.

Although it primarily concerns powertrains, the principles of selection by OEM numbers and the approach to used parts presented there are also helpful when choosing other car components.

Practical application and installation benefits

Using a functional power fold mechanism in the BMW E87 LCI right mirror translates into:

• efficient, electric folding of the mirror in tight parking spaces,
• reduced risk of mirror housing damage during passing and parking,
• convenient operation from the cabin, without the need for manual folding,
• maintenance of functionality consistent with the vehicle's factory equipment.

Thanks to its fitment for the specific BMW model, the installation of the mechanism in the right mirror can be carried out in an orderly manner, using factory mounting points and the existing electrical harness.
