For vehicles with a different paint color, the cover can serve as a solid base for repainting, simplifying the painter's work and reducing preparation time before installation.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The cover is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory mirror configuration of the BMW E81 and E87. The housing's design is adapted to the standard mirror frame, allowing for installation without altering the geometry of the adjustment mechanism.

When replacing, pay attention to:

• correct seating of the clips on the mirror frame,
• absence of stress on the contact edges with other components,
• checking the glass adjustment operation after assembling the entire unit.

This type of cover is suitable for both accident repairs and for replacing a worn or damaged housing during everyday use.

Compared to aftermarket alternatives, the original mirror housing cover provides:

• better fit to the shape of the door and pillar,
• visual consistency with other body elements,
• retention of the original manufacturing quality characteristic of the BMW brand.
