Purpose and function in BMW cars
This set of interior mirror base covers is designed specifically for BMW 1, 3, and 5 Series models (E81, E87, E90, and E60). The component is mounted at the front of the cabin, where the mirror meets the windshield, where it aesthetically covers the mirror base and any wiring.
The covers help maintain the interior's tidy, factory-style appearance while also protecting the mirror mount from accidental impacts and dirt. Adapted to the specific BMW platform, they maintain proper fit with the headliner and windshield.
Construction, colors and fit
The set consists of elements that form a base around the interior mirror, which, when folded, create a compact, aesthetically pleasing whole. The black color of the covers is universal for most BMW interior configurations of this generation and complements both light and dark upholstery.
Key features of the set:
- Factory fitment to E81, E87, E90, E60 platforms – retaining the lines and geometry characteristic of these BMW generations.
- Consistent colors – black finish reduces reflections in the windshield and does not distract the driver.
- The solution is intended for installation in the front of the vehicle, in the immediate vicinity of the rear-view mirror.
Used condition and assembly aspects
The component is recycled, meaning it's a used part that retains its functionality and is intended for continued use. These components are a popular choice for accident repairs, replacing damaged covers, or restoring the interior to its original appearance after modifications.
Due to the manufacturer's design, installation is similar to the factory installation – once properly aligned, the components form a stable cover for the mirror base. In practice, the kit is useful both for replacing a damaged cover and for replacing missing components after windshield removal.
Benefits of using original interior mirror covers
The use of a dedicated set of interior mirror base covers in the BMW 1, 3 and 5 Series brings a number of practical benefits:
- Interior aesthetics – restoring a consistent appearance around the mirror, without visible fixings and wires.
- Protection of mounting elements – limiting the exposure of the mirror base to dirt and accidental mechanical damage.
- Better visual impression when reselling the car – a complete, neat cockpit finish is noticeable to a potential buyer.
- Compliance with the factory BMW interior concept – maintaining the original styling line without improvised covers.
