Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented mirror is designed for the right side of the BMW 1 Series E87 body and is an integral part of the side visibility system. The 3-pin design allows for compatibility with the vehicle's electrical system, while the power-folding feature facilitates parking in tight spaces, reducing the risk of mechanical damage.

The heated mirror glass helps maintain clarity in low temperatures and high humidity, which translates into better visibility in difficult road conditions. As a result, the mirror effectively supports the driver during lane changes, reversing, and city driving.

Color and visual fit

The Patagoniagruen Metallic - A71 paint is a distinctive metallic shade used by BMW, which allows for maintaining the stylistic consistency of the body without the need for immediate repainting. For many users, this means a faster replacement of a damaged mirror and a reduction in additional finishing costs.

The original surface finish of the housing is designed for resistance to typical operating conditions, such as UV radiation or fluctuating temperatures. Thanks to this, the mirror fits well into the side line of the body, maintaining the vehicle's factory character.

Electrical solutions and ergonomics

The mirror is equipped with an electric folding mechanism that allows for convenient control from inside the cabin. This type of solution:

• facilitates parking in tight spaces,
• reduces the risk of accidentally hitting the mirror,
• increases the ergonomics of vehicle operation.

Heating the mirror surface is particularly useful in the autumn and winter season, when water vapor, frost, or light ice can limit visibility. Integration with the vehicle's electrical system enables automatic or semi-automatic operation of the system, depending on the configuration of the specific BMW E87 unit.

Benefits of using an original BMW mirror

Using an original mirror from the Wing Mirrors BMW category allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the glass setting, which is important for the field of view and safety. The factory design of the housing and mounting brackets facilitates installation in place of the damaged element, without the need for modifications to the mounts or the electrical harness.

A used component of this type is a good compromise between the cost of repair and maintaining quality and functionality. In many cases, it allows for restoring full efficiency of the side visibility zone within a reasonable service budget.

Integration with other BMW body elements
