Technical specifications and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Outside Mirrors category and has been designed specifically for the BMW 3 Series E46 model. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle guarantees correct geometry, adjustment angle, and compatibility with factory mounting points on the passenger door.

The heated mirror surface helps maintain clarity in rain, snow, and at low temperatures, which translates into stable visibility in city traffic and on the road. Using an original BMW design allows for compatibility with the car's electrical system and proper operation of the mirror adjustment (in accordance with the equipment of the specific vehicle).

Appearance and color

The mirror is finished in the Orient Blue Metallic shade, characteristic of the BMW paint palette. This metallic color ensures visual consistency with factory-painted body components, which is particularly important when replacing a single component after a collision or wear-related damage.

Thanks to the original paintwork, the proper color depth, gloss, and shade consistency with the E46 design line are maintained. This is a solution that reduces the need for additional painting and shortens repair time, provided that the other body elements are maintained in the same paint code.

Condition, origin, and application

The item comes from the BMW brand and is a used part, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to new components while maintaining the factory design. This type of mirror is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or damaged components in a daily-driven car.

By maintaining the original form and dimensions, the mirror allows for installation in place of the factory component without the need for body modifications. It is a practical solution for workshops, independent service centers, and individual users who expect predictable installation and proper fitment with the door and trim strips.

Benefits of using an original BMW E46 mirror

• Factory fitment for the right side of the BMW E46 body, with no need for mounting modifications.
• Heated mirror glass supporting visibility in low temperatures and high humidity.
• Original Orient Blue Metallic color, making it easy to maintain visual consistency of the bodywork.

• Can be used in post-accident repairs and when replacing worn body components.

Application in BMW modernization and service

Replacing the mirror with an original BMW component allows you to restore the full functionality of the vehicle's side zone, including the correct field of view and aesthetics consistent with the factory design. This is particularly important for cars that need to maintain market value and a consistent body appearance after body and paint repairs.
