Purpose and fitment

The presented cover is a component dedicated to the right side of the vehicle, ensuring a proper fit to the door shape and mirror geometry in BMW E81 and E87 models. The design is based on the manufacturer's factory specifications, ensuring compatibility with the body lines, mounting points, and factory assembly gaps.

The Quarzblau Metallic - A18 color allows for a visually consistent restoration of the vehicle's original appearance, reducing the need for additional paint work, provided the vehicle's paint matches this color code.

Technical characteristics of the cover

The mirror cover serves as the external protective housing for the mirror assembly, shielding the glass, adjustment mechanism, and any wiring. The component is designed to:

• ensure stable attachment to the mirror base,
• maintain proper aerodynamics of the side body section,
• protect internal components from weather conditions.

Thanks to the use of factory geometry, installation is predictable, and the fitment with other mirror components remains consistent with the manufacturer's standards.

Quarzblau Metallic - A18 color scheme

The Quarzblau Metallic - A18 finish is a distinctive metallic color used in the BMW range, blending well with the 1 Series body lines. The metallic structure of the paint enhances visual color depth and allows for an aesthetic match to factory-painted body parts.

For vehicles with the same paint code, this cover can significantly reduce the time required for visual mirror repair, as it eliminates the stage of fully painting a new component, limiting work to installation and potential surface correction.

Condition and service application

The item comes from the Exterior mirrors category and is offered as a used part, which is an advantageous solution for post-accident repairs, visual corrections, and restoring the vehicle to a near-factory state at a reasonable cost. A used cover allows for the preservation of original material and structural specifications, which is important for durability and mounting compatibility.

Benefits of using an original mirror cover

Using a factory mirror cover on the right side of a BMW E81/E87 provides a number of practical advantages:

• preservation of the original body lines and stylistic consistency of the vehicle,
• secure fit to the existing mirror base and glass,
• reduction of the risk of installation issues typical of aftermarket replacements with imprecise geometry,
• possibility of economical repair of side body damage without replacing the entire mirror assembly.
