Purpose and fitment

The housing has been designed as an original BMW part, which translates into precise fitment to the mirror structure on the right side of the vehicle. By maintaining factory dimensions and mounting geometry, the component works with the stock mirror glass, turn signal, and adjustment mechanism, ensuring stable seating and proper operation of the entire assembly.

The placement on the passenger side allows for hassle-free replacement of a damaged housing without interfering with the mirror's electrical installation. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, correcting parking damage, or restoring the factory look of the bodywork.

Color and Black Sapphire Metallic finish

The Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color is a characteristic metallic shade used in BMW models, which blends well with the body line of the 3 Series E90/E91 LCI. The use of original metallic paint reduces the risk of shade differences compared to other body panels, which is particularly important for spot repairs.

The metallic finish provides an aesthetic gloss and improves visual consistency with other elements painted in the same color. In practice, this means that after proper installation, the housing does not stand out against the rest of the body, and the car's side line remains uniform.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror housing is a used component, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-quality ratio while maintaining the original BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for maintenance repairs when the priority is to maintain factory fitment and reduce costs compared to new parts.

Choosing an original, used housing from the same model series allows you to avoid problems typical of aftermarket replacements, such as inaccurate fitment, different crease lines, or differences in paint structure. This is a particularly beneficial solution for repairs where both functionality and aesthetics matter.

Benefits of using an original mirror housing

• Factory fitment for the right BMW E90/E91 LCI mirror, with no modifications required.
• Original Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color, facilitating the maintenance of visual body consistency.
• Stable mounting and proper cooperation with the existing adjustment mechanism and mirror glass.
• A reasonable cost solution thanks to the use of a pre-owned component while maintaining OEM specifications.
