Construction and function of the rearview mirror
This mirror is a rearview mirror, meaning it's responsible for viewing the space behind the vehicle from inside the cabin. Its support structure and mounting method are designed to fit the factory windshield mount, simplifying installation and reducing the need for modifications.
Original workmanship ensures:
- consistent appearance with the BMW dashboard and upholstery,
- stable mounting to minimize image vibrations while driving,
- maintaining the correct field of view geometry intended for a given body.
Technical condition and benefits of choosing a used part
The mirror is offered in used condition, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and retains its manufacturer-specified functionality. This type of solution is particularly beneficial when you want:
- original fit for a specific BMW model,
- maintaining the factory appearance of the interior without visual deviations,
- reasonable cost-to-quality ratio compared to new substitutes.
A used OEM part is also a good option for accident repairs or replacing a damaged mirror when the priority is to quickly return the vehicle to full functionality.
Assembly and technical aspects
The mirror is designed to be mounted in the rear of the cabin, using the factory mounting point. This means the replacement process is usually limited to removing the old element and installing the new one, without the need to interfere with the windshield or headliner structure.
By choosing this item you gain:
- compatibility with the factory installation of a given BMW model,
- maintaining the position of the mirror relative to the driver as intended by the manufacturer,
- the ability to restore full functionality of the vehicle's visibility system.
