Purpose and vehicle function

The presented mirror is dedicated to the left side of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI, which guarantees the correct position relative to the A-pillar, door, and factory mounting points. The design is intended to work with the factory electrical installation, ensuring full functionality of the adjustment and folding features.

The power fold function allows for electric folding of the mirror, which facilitates maneuvering and parking in tight spaces, and also reduces the risk of mechanical damage. Furthermore, the auto dip mode allows for automatic tilting of the mirror glass when reversing (with the appropriate vehicle configuration), improving visibility of the curb and the rear wheel area.

Color and visual fit

The mirror is finished in the factory color Schwarz 2 - 668, allowing for an aesthetic match to bodywork painted in this shade without the need for additional painting. As a result, the component can be installed immediately upon delivery, which shortens repair time and reduces the costs of additional finishing work.

The original housing maintains the styling line characteristic of the LCI version, ensuring consistency with other body elements and the factory contours of the door and fender.

Technical parameters and compatibility

The mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and was designed as an OEM part for the BMW brand, which means it maintains factory manufacturing standards and compatibility with vehicle systems. The presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specification facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific car configuration.

The built-in heating function (information in interchangeable numbers) allows for effective defrosting and defogging of the mirror surface, which improves visibility in low-temperature and high-humidity conditions. Consequently, the mirror supports safe vehicle operation during the autumn and winter seasons.

Condition, installation, and service application

The item is in used condition, meaning it has been removed from a vehicle but retains the functionality necessary for further use. This type of component is particularly useful for accident repairs, replacing a mirror damaged in a parking collision, or restoring a car to factory condition after bodywork and paint interventions.

The design is intended for installation into factory mounting points, using the original type of electrical connectors, which facilitates installation in a workshop environment. Proper connection allows for full use of the folding, auto-dip, and heating functions, in accordance with the equipment configuration of the given BMW 3 Series unit.

Configuration expansion and additional information

For users who are upgrading their BMW towards richer equipment versions, such a mirror with power fold and auto dip functions is a practical upgrade element, allowing the car's configuration to be brought closer to higher factory packages. In combination with appropriate vehicle coding, one can achieve operational convenience and better ergonomics during daily driving and maneuvering.
