Purpose and compatibility with BMW E81 / E88

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and has been designed specifically for BMW 1 Series E81 models and the E88 convertible. Its placement on the left side of the body guarantees compatibility with the door geometry, window line, and factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and helps maintain the vehicle's consistent appearance.

The original housing design ensures the correct viewing angle, and the integrated electrical connector allows for the proper connection of the mirror glass heating function, which is essential for daily use in changing weather conditions.

Functionality of the heated mirror

A heated side mirror significantly improves driving safety in rain, snow, and at low temperatures. The integrated heating system allows for the rapid removal of water vapor and frost from the glass surface, which reduces the need for manual cleaning and ensures better visibility in the side zone.

The presence of a 3-pin connector means that the mirror is prepared to work with the appropriate variant of the BMW electrical system, which minimizes the risk of compatibility issues and speeds up the installation process.

Titan Silver Metallic - 354 color and body aesthetics

The mirror housing is finished in Titan Silver Metallic - 354, a color characteristic of many BMW paint configurations. As a result, the component harmoniously blends into the body line, reducing the need for additional paint work after installation, provided the vehicle has the same paint code.

The metallic coating ensures consistency with the factory body finish, and the properly selected shade allows for maintaining the aesthetics of the side of the vehicle after repairing or replacing a damaged mirror.

• factory fitment to the door geometry and body line of the BMW E81 / E88,
• integrated mirror glass heating function,
• prepared for integration with the electrical system via a 3-pin connector,
• finished in Titan Silver Metallic - 354, consistent with the factory paint.
