Purpose and fitment for BMW E81/E87

The cover is designed as an outer cap for the right-hand mirror on BMW E81 and E87 models, ensuring a precise fit to the mirror housing geometry and the vehicle's side body lines. Thanks to its factory origin, compatibility with the original design is maintained, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of improper alignment with other housing components.

Color and finish Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71

The component is finished in Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71, a color characteristic of specific BMW paint configurations. The metallic coating allows for an aesthetic match to the factory body paint, reducing the need for additional painting while maintaining high visual quality. This is a practical solution when replacing a damaged casing on vehicles of the same shade.

Protective function and utility

The cover acts as an external protective barrier for the mirror mechanism, glass, and electrical wiring, shielding them from weather conditions and minor mechanical damage. Replacing just the casing is a cost-effective service solution when only the outer part of the mirror is damaged, without the need to interfere with its internal components.

• Protection of the adjustment mechanism and mirror glass against moisture and dirt.
• Restoration of the side body aesthetics after scratches or cracks.
• Possibility of economical repair without replacing the complete mirror unit.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the cover comes from dismantling and offers a cost-effective solution compared to new components. Such parts are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs and routine body maintenance when the priority is to maintain the manufacturer's original specifications within a reasonable budget. A used component also allows for better visual matching to the vehicle's existing paintwork.

Installation area and mirror integration

The cover is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, in place of the factory mirror housing. The design provided by the manufacturer allows for installation using the original mounting points, which speeds up service work and limits the risk of looseness or leaks. A correctly installed cover ensures a stable connection with the mirror body and a consistent flow of the body lines.
