Purpose and fitment

The cover is an external component of the right-side mirror, specifically designed for the BMW E81 and E87 series. Thanks to its design, which adheres to the manufacturer's factory standards, it ensures a precise fit with the mirror housing, resulting in stable mounting and correct alignment with the body lines.

Its placement on the right side of the vehicle simplifies part selection during post-collision repairs or when replacing a single mirror component, without the need to interfere with other parts of the mirror assembly.

Color and finish: Montegoblau Metallic A51

The factory Montegoblau Metallic – A51 color is a distinctive metallic blue shade used by BMW, which allows for a consistent vehicle appearance without the need to change the car's color scheme. Using original metallic paint minimizes shade differences compared to other body panels, which is particularly important for spot repairs.

A cover in this color is ideal both for replacing a damaged part and for restoring the vehicle's original appearance after previous non-factory modifications.

Characteristics of the used part

This product comes from the used parts segment, allowing for economical repairs while maintaining original BMW specifications. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, where combining proper fitment with service cost control is key.

As an external part, the mirror cover is important not only for aesthetics but also for protecting the internal mirror components from weather conditions, which is why choosing the correct, original part is significant for the durability of the entire assembly.

Application in the exterior mirror system

As an item in the Exterior Mirrors category, the described cover works in conjunction with other mirror parts – the glass, adjustment mechanism, and base. A correctly selected housing:

• ensures proper airflow around the mirror,
• protects the adjustment mechanism and electrical wiring from dirt,
• allows for maintaining the factory look of the side body section.

Replacing just the cover is often sufficient in cases of parking damage or minor collisions, which limits the scope of bodywork and painting required.
