Purpose and Fitment for BMW E87 LCI

The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and has been specifically designed for the post-facelift (LCI) BMW 1 Series E87. Its placement on the left side of the vehicle means it is mounted on the driver's side, which is crucial for driving ergonomics and safety. The OEM construction guarantees compatibility with factory mounting points, correct geometry, and proper integration with the car's electrical system.

Functionality of a Heated Mirror

A heated exterior mirror significantly improves visibility in adverse weather conditions. The integrated heating function:

• accelerates moisture evaporation from the glass surface,
• reduces frost and ice buildup,
• ensures a stable field of vision at low temperatures.

This provides the driver with a clearer view of the situation in adjacent lanes, leading to safer lane changes and overtaking maneuvers.

Bodywork Color and Aesthetics

The mirror is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic 475, a color characteristic of BMW's palette. The metallic black complements both light and dark body paint colors, and for cars in the same color, it allows for a consistent, factory look without the need for additional painting. This solution is particularly beneficial for accident repairs where restoring the vehicle's aesthetics quickly is important.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered mirror is a used part, which significantly reduces the repair cost compared to a new OEM part. At the same time, the original construction and technical parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer are maintained. This type of component is a good choice for routine repairs when functionality, model compatibility, and a reasonable budget are priorities.
