Purpose and function in the vehicle

The mirror is prepared to work with the vehicle's electrical system, including the heating and power-folding functions, in accordance with the equipment of a specific BMW 1 Series E87 version. This ensures that full control functionality from the factory switches in the cabin is maintained.

Condition and service application
