Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 1 Series E87

The presented mirror has been specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series E87, intended for the left side of the vehicle. The construction based on OEM solutions allows for the preservation of factory geometry, correct viewing angles, and compatibility with the car's electrical system. This ensures a streamlined installation process without the need for wiring or mounting modifications.

The component is prepared for integration with the vehicle's factory systems, facilitating seamless integration with existing mirror control functions from inside the car.

Features: Power Fold, Auto Dip, and Heating

The mirror is equipped with electric folding (power fold), allowing the housing to be folded when parking in tight spaces, reducing the risk of mechanical damage. The auto-dip function assists with reversing maneuvers – the mirror can automatically adjust its position to better illuminate and show the curb or parking line, improving parking precision.

Additionally, the mirror glass features heating, which aids in defogging and defrosting the mirror surface. This configuration enhances driving safety in rain, fog, or low temperatures, ensuring stable visibility in the vehicle's side areas.

Black Sapphire Metallic 475 Finish

The mirror housing is finished in the Black Sapphire Metallic 475 color, characteristic of many BMW paint configurations. The metallic paint structure maintains visual consistency with the bodywork while effectively masking minor dirt and typical signs of wear. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged mirror with a part that matches the rest of the car's color.

This finish means the mirror does not require additional painting after installation, provided the vehicle has the same paint code, which reduces repair time and simplifies the service process.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a used part, the mirror retains the functionality of original BMW components while offering cost savings compared to a new part. This is a sensible choice for post-accident repairs, visual bodywork corrections, or replacing a damaged mirror on a daily-driven car.

Choosing an original used mirror helps maintain the vehicle's technical and visual consistency while optimizing the repair budget.

Application and Benefits of Installation

The installation of this mirror is particularly recommended in situations where:

• the factory left-side mirror has suffered mechanical or electrical damage,
• the part needs to be replaced while retaining the folding, auto-dip, and heating functions,
• color matching to Black Sapphire Metallic 475 paint is important,
• maintaining the original look and ergonomics of the BMW 1 Series E87 is a priority.

With this configuration, the mirror is a practical solution for both individual users and workshops specializing in BMW vehicle service.
