Purpose and function of the component

The presented cover is an external mirror housing mounted on the left side of the vehicle, dedicated to BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI (facelift) models. It is responsible for protecting the internal mirror mechanism and the glass insert from external factors, while simultaneously shaping the aerodynamic line of the body.

The Schwarz 2 - 668 color ensures consistency with the factory paint in this shade, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged housing without the need for additional painting or with minimal finishing work.

Key technical features

The cover has been designed as a part compatible with the factory mirror geometry, which translates into:

• precise fit to the mirror body on the left side,
• stable mounting to the existing mirror base,
• preservation of the original body line and correct airflow around the mirror,
• compatibility with the mirror construction used in LCI versions.

As a result, this element can be used both for standard replacement of a damaged housing and for post-accident repairs, where maintaining factory mounting parameters is essential.

Condition and benefits of using a pre-owned component

The cover comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical mirror repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing a used OEM component reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of universal aftermarket replacements.

Using this housing allows for:

• restoring full functionality and protection of the mirror,
• maintaining a consistent appearance of the side of the body,
• reducing repair costs while maintaining the quality of an original part.

Installation tips and fitment

Before installation, it is recommended to verify the compatibility of the element with your vehicle based on the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers available in the technical specification. This facilitates the selection of the correct housing version for the specific mirror configuration and vehicle model year.

The installation process itself usually involves removing the damaged cover, checking the mounting points, and installing the new element onto the existing mirror base, while exercising caution in the area of the adjustment mechanism and electrical wiring.
