The mirror offers a set of features found in higher trim levels of the BMW 3 Series:

• electric folding of the housing, facilitating parking in tight spaces and reducing the risk of mechanical damage,
• heated mirror glass, improving visibility in low temperatures, rain, and icing conditions,
• integration with the memory system, allowing for saving mirror positions for different drivers.

Thanks to these functions, the mirror enhances daily driving comfort and supports safe maneuvering, especially in urban traffic and during night driving or in adverse weather conditions.

The right-side placement has been factory-optimized for the driver's field of view, resulting in predictable mirror behavior during driving and maneuvering. Installation, when following proper service procedures, is straightforward for an experienced mechanic or automotive electrician.

Used Condition and Economic Benefits
