Intended Use and Fitment

The cover is designed as a dedicated component for the left exterior mirror in the facelifted (LCI) BMW E81 and E87 models. Thanks to its construction conforming to factory BMW standards, it ensures correct alignment with the mirror housing, stable mounting, and preservation of the element's original geometry.

Its placement on the driver's side of the vehicle allows for precise replacement of a damaged or worn housing without interfering with the adjustment mechanism or the mirror glass. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and for restoring the vehicle to its factory specification.

Color and Finish

The cover is finished in Vermilionrot Metallic - A82 paint, characteristic of selected BMW 1 Series configurations. The metallic finish provides an attractive visual effect while also facilitating matching with the existing body paint for vehicles with the same color code.

The factory surface finish helps maintain a uniform styling line for the car, without the shade or gloss differences typical of low-quality aftermarket parts. This is especially important in repairs where aesthetics and conformity to the original BMW design are crucial.

Functional Characteristics

As a component from the Mirror Components category, the cover serves both protective and aesthetic functions: it shields the internal mirror components from external factors and gives the mirror assembly a cohesive appearance. The design intended by the vehicle manufacturer promotes proper water drainage and resistance to typical operational loads.

The used condition means the part comes from disassembly, allowing for the preservation of original BMW manufacturing quality while optimizing repair costs. This is a practical solution for owners who want to maintain the factory character of their vehicle, avoiding the accidental selection of ill-fitting aftermarket parts.

Benefits of Using an Original Mirror Cover

• Factory fit for the left mirror of BMW E81/E87 LCI, with no modifications required.
• Original Vermilionrot Metallic - A82 color, facilitating the maintenance of visual consistency of the bodywork.
• Protection of the mirror mechanism and electronics against weather conditions.
• Aesthetic finish consistent with the styling line of the BMW 1 Series.
• Cost-effective choice due to the use of a used part of factory origin.
