Purpose and fitment

The cover is designed as a component for the left external mirror in BMW E81, E82, and E87 series vehicles. Thanks to its factory geometry, it ensures proper coverage of the mirror housing, correct fitment to the base, and compatibility with standard clips and guides. This is a particularly beneficial solution when replacing a damaged housing after a collision or for visual repairs of the side body area.

Color and body aesthetics

The finish in Kaschmirsilber (Cashmere Silver) Metallic - A72 allows for consistency with the factory BMW paint palette. The metallic paint structure harmonizes well with the body lines, reducing the need for additional painting when matching vehicles of the same color. This is a practical solution for users who want to quickly restore the aesthetics of the mirror without interfering with the structure of the entire assembly.

Technical characteristics and installation

The cover is an external component intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle, within the side mirror assembly. The design is intended to work with the factory glass, adjustment mechanism, and turn signal (if present in the specific mirror configuration). Installation involves properly seating the housing onto the mirror body and securing the factory clips, with no need for electrical system modifications.

Component condition and service application

The product comes from dismantling and is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective service solution for post-accident repairs and for restoring the vehicle's original appearance. Choosing such a component allows for cost reduction compared to new parts, while maintaining factory fitment and dimensional compliance.

Selection support and additional information

When selecting a cover, it is worth paying attention to the body generation compatibility, mounting side, and paint color to avoid fitment issues. If necessary, you can refer to the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers visible in the product's technical specification, which facilitates compatibility verification with a specific equipment version.
