Purpose and technical features

The presented mirror is a component from the Side Mirrors category, dedicated to BMW F20 series models for the right side. The design with a 5-pin connector allows for integration with the vehicle's electrical system, supporting adjustment, the auto-dip function, and mirror glass heating. The auto-dip function is responsible for automatically tilting the mirror when shifting into reverse gear, which makes it easier to observe curbs and parking lines. Integrated heating reduces fogging and icing of the surface, improving driving safety in low temperatures.

Color and visual fit

The mirror is finished in the factory Karmesinrot A61 color, which allows for an aesthetic match to the bodywork without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same shade. The original paint coating ensures consistency with the BMW styling line and maintains the characteristic look of the F20 series. Thanks to the use of the original housing and geometry, the component maintains the correct viewing angle and compatibility with door mounts, which translates into stable seating and proper operation of the adjustment mechanism.

Condition, origin, and benefits of use

The mirror comes from the BMW range and is a used component, which means it is a cost-effective solution while maintaining factory build quality. The original design ensures proper fitment with the door, compatibility with the electrical installation, and correct cooperation with the vehicle's comfort systems. Using this mirror allows for:

• restoring full functionality of the right-side visibility,
• preserving the original appearance of the BMW F20 body,
• maintaining the operation of the auto-dip and heating functions, if present in the vehicle.
