Purpose and fitment for BMW E60 / E61 LCI

The presented mirror cap has been designed specifically for the LCI version of the BMW 5 Series E60/E61, ensuring a proper fit to the mirror's shape and correct alignment with the arm and base. Its placement on the left side of the body guarantees compatibility with the factory body geometry and the car's side profile.

Thanks to the use of the original design, installation is straightforward, maintaining factory mounting points. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged housing after a collision or for visual vehicle correction.

Color Patagoniagruen Metallic – A71

The housing is finished in Patagoniagruen Metallic – A71 paint, characteristic of selected BMW 5 Series configurations. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which reduces the need for additional painting if the car's color is matched correctly.

For users who want to maintain a uniform vehicle appearance after a repair, a ready-to-install, painted cap in this shade is a practical and aesthetic solution, facilitating a quick restoration of the original look of the side body area.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the mirror housing represents a favorable compromise between cost and maintaining the original BMW specification. This type of part allows for an economical repair of the mirror area while preserving the factory shape, parting lines, and mounting method.

Choosing an original, used cap is particularly important for cars where compliance with factory design solutions is valued, as well as minimizing the risk of installation problems typical of aftermarket replacements with imprecise fitment.

Application in the mirror and body area

The left-side mirror housing serves as protection for the adjustment mechanism and the mirror glass, while also influencing aerodynamics and the visual consistency of the entire side of the body. A properly selected element from the Mirror parts group helps reduce wind noise and provides an aesthetic finish to the door area.

Replacing the cap alone is often sufficient in cases of mechanical damage or scratches, without the need to interfere with the adjustment mechanism or the mirror's electrical installation, which shortens repair time and simplifies the service process.
