Application and Fitment for BMW E88 Cabrio

The presented side window has been specifically designed for the rear left side of the BMW 1 Series E88 convertible body. The appropriate edge profiling and correct bending radius allow for smooth interaction with the window lowering and lifting mechanism, which is particularly important in frameless designs typical for convertibles.

The AS2 designation indicates a tempered glass with controlled light transmission, contributing to comfortable visibility and compliance with homologation requirements for side windows in passenger vehicles.

Technical Characteristics of AS2 Side Window

The AS2 rear left side window is made of tempered safety glass, which, in case of damage, breaks into small, blunt fragments, reducing the risk of serious injury. The technology used ensures:

• stable resistance to mechanical stress typical of daily use,
• adequate resistance to temperature changes and UV radiation,
• proper cooperation with body seals and door guides.

By maintaining the original glass parameters, installation does not require modifications to the bodywork or adjacent components, which facilitates service work and reduces replacement time.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Window

Choosing an original side window for the BMW E88 Cabrio allows for maintaining the vehicle's visual consistency and ensuring proper fit with other body elements. Key benefits include:

• Factory Fitment – compatibility with body geometry and the window lifting mechanism,
• maintaining proper sealing of the window system and seals,
• preserving acoustic comfort inside the vehicle,
• aesthetic appearance consistent with the original BMW design.

A used OEM part offers a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining near-factory parameters, which is particularly important for accident repairs or vehicle restoration.
