Black Sapphire Metallic 475 Finish and Shadow Line

The high-gloss Shadow Line finish accentuates the sporty character of the X3 E83, creating a cohesive line with the window trim and other decorative elements. This finish is particularly valued in post-accident repairs when maintaining a uniform appearance of the entire vehicle side is important.

Mirror Functional Features

The mirror is equipped with a heating function, which improves visibility in rain, snow, and at low temperatures by reducing fogging and icing of the glass surface. The EM electrical system allows for convenient control from inside the vehicle, in line with the factory configuration of the BMW X3 E83. This ensures the driver retains full mirror functionality after replacement, without the need for additional installation modifications.

Characteristics of the Sport High Gloss Left N/S Version

The Sport High Gloss variant is intended for versions with a more dynamic stylistic character. The high-gloss housing combined with the Shadow Line creates a cohesive, sporty visual accent on the left side of the body. The mirror is structurally adapted to the X3 E83's form, which translates to stability at higher speeds and reduced air noise in the cabin.
