Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 Finish

The mirror is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, characteristic of the BMW color palette. The metallic black ensures consistency with the body paint in the same code, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing the part.

A used OEM component allows for the preservation of the vehicle's original appearance without the need for aftermarket replacements with different geometry or surface quality.

Condition, Installation, and Service Application

The mirror is designed for installation in place of the factory part, utilizing original mounting points and manufacturer-intended structural solutions.
