Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for the left side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory layout of the BMW i3 I01. The component is designed as part of the passive safety system, providing the driver with a stable field of view in the side zone and during parking maneuvers.

The version with a heating function facilitates use in low temperatures, reducing fogging and frost accumulation on the glass surface. The integrated auto-dip function when shifting into reverse gear supports precise maneuvering near curbs and obstacles.

Color and visual fit

The mirror is finished in the distinctive Solar Orange Metallic / Frozen Grey – B78 color, used factory-standard on the BMW i3. This allows the component to harmonize with the body lines, maintaining consistency with the original paint palette.

For owners of vehicles in this color configuration, this is a particularly advantageous solution – it allows for the replacement of a damaged mirror without the need for additional painting, while maintaining aesthetics consistent with the factory design.

Technology and user comfort

The mirror is equipped with electric heating, which helps maintain surface clarity in difficult weather conditions. The auto-dip function during reversing improves control over the area around the vehicle, which is particularly useful for parallel parking and in narrow spaces.

Combining these solutions increases the comfort of daily use of the BMW i3 I01, while also supporting precise maneuvering in urban traffic, where side visibility is of key importance.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered mirror is a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs and when replacing damaged wear-and-tear parts, where compliance with the factory construction is a priority.

Using an original mirror from the same model series reduces the risk of installation issues and facilitates integration with the vehicle's existing electrical system.
