Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 1 Series E87 LCI

The presented mirror has been specifically designed for the facelifted version of the BMW 1 Series E87 (LCI), intended for the left side of the vehicle. The construction, based on the original BMW design, guarantees correct geometry, appropriate viewing angle, and compatibility with the door mountings of this model.

Its placement on the driver's side facilitates maintaining proper visibility in urban and highway traffic, as well as seamless integration with the vehicle's factory electrical systems.

Heating Function and Driving Safety

The built-in mirror heating function enhances safety in challenging weather conditions. The mirror glass heating supports:

• faster removal of water vapor from the glass surface,
• reduction of icing at low temperatures,
• stable visibility during rain and snow.

This provides the driver with better control over the road situation, which is particularly important for lane changes, overtaking, and parking in confined spaces.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 Finish

The mirror is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic – 475, a color characteristic of many BMW configurations. The metallic black ensures:

• consistency with BMW's factory paint palette,
• an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the body after repair or replacement,
• easier visual matching in case of partial accident repairs.

This finish helps to limit the scope of additional painting work, especially when the vehicle is already in the same shade.

Characteristics of the Used Part

The offered mirror is a used original BMW part, meaning it retains its factory geometry, robust construction, and compatibility with the E87 LCI body. This type of component is a good choice for accident repairs when the priority is to combine OEM quality with a reasonable replacement cost.

Thanks to the use of the original housing and adjustment mechanism, installation is similar to the factory process, without the need for modifications to mountings or electrical connections.
