Technical specifications and intended use

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing mirrors category and was designed specifically for the BMW 3 Series E90 generation in the M Sport version. The construction is intended for mounting on the right side of the vehicle, which is crucial for the correct field of vision and compliance with traffic regulations in vehicles adapted for right-hand or left-hand traffic – depending on the car's configuration.

The heating of the mirror glass supports maintaining image clarity in low temperatures, during rain and snow, which translates into higher functionality in daily operation. The use of the original M Sport housing guarantees stylistic consistency with the line of bumpers, side skirts, and other elements of the aerodynamic package.

Color and visual fit

The mirror is factory-finished in the Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 shade, characteristic of BMW's sporty configurations. Thanks to this, the element fits perfectly into the body line without the need for additional painting in the case of cars in the same color.

• Metallic paint ensures consistency with the original body finish.
• The Le Mans Blau shade emphasizes the sporty character of the M Sport version.
• Original structure and gloss facilitate integration with other body panels.

Benefits of using an original BMW mirror

Choosing an original BMW wing mirror for the 3 Series E90 M Sport primarily means certainty of mounting compatibility and the preservation of the factory field of vision geometry. The properly selected setting angle, housing shape, and mirror surface affect the safety of maneuvering, changing lanes, and observing the blind spot.

The used OEM element also allows for reducing repair costs compared to new parts, while maintaining the original build quality. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-collision repairs when it is necessary to replace several body components at the same time.

Condition and practical application

The mirror comes from dismantling and is offered as a used part, which means it may show signs of wear typical for components mounted in a vehicle. At the same time, it retains full functionality in terms of mounting and the operation of the heating system, making it suitable for direct use as a replacement for a damaged element.

Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard verification of the vehicle's electrical system and the correctness of the adjustment mechanism settings to fully utilize the mirror's capabilities in daily driving.
