The mirror base is a structural element that connects the door to the mirror housing and insert, ensuring appropriate rigidity and correct positioning relative to the bodywork. The used mountings and electrical connectors are adapted to the solutions used in BMW E60/E61, which facilitates installation without the need for modifications.

As a part originating from the BMW group, the element retains factory mounting points, geometry, and electrical interfaces. The presence of the OEM part number and associated replacement numbers allows for unambiguous verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration before purchase.

Condition, User Benefits, and Installation

The part comes from the aftermarket, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged mirror base while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This is a particularly beneficial solution for collision repairs or replacement of worn folding mechanism components.

The main advantages of this mirror base include:

• adapted for electric mirror folding (power fold),
• support for the auto-dip function when reversing,
• preservation of original geometry and mounting points,
• possibility of using the vehicle's existing electrical system.

Thanks to its construction compliant with OEM solutions, installation can be carried out by a workshop specializing in the BMW brand or an experienced mechanic, using standard service procedures.
