Purpose and fitment for BMW E81/E87

This mirror cover has been designed specifically for the BMW E81 and E87 series and is mounted on the left side of the vehicle. Thanks to its design, which complies with BMW factory standards, it ensures proper fitment with the mirror base, stable mounting, and correct edge alignment relative to the door and pillar.

The component comes from the External mirrors segment, meaning it is prepared for operation in outdoor conditions – including variable temperatures, exposure to UV radiation, and the effects of water and road debris.

Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 color and aesthetic values

The Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 finish allows for consistency with the factory BMW paint palette. The metallic black effectively masks minor dirt while highlighting the side line of the body, which is particularly important when replacing a single component after a collision or parking damage.

Selecting a cover in the correct color reduces or completely eliminates the need for additional painting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs, while maintaining a uniform look for the entire side of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used component

The mirror cover is a used component, sourced from dismantling, which represents a reasonable compromise between quality and repair cost. Its original origin ensures dimensional and material compatibility with factory BMW equipment, and the material used is adapted for long-term operation in road conditions.

Choosing a used mirror cover is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, localized bodywork corrections, and restoring the vehicle to a condition close to factory specifications without excessive budget strain.

Benefits of installing an original mirror cover

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the geometry of the BMW E81/E87 mirror on the left side.
• Color consistency with Black Sapphire Metallic – 475 paint, reducing the need for additional painting.
• Stable mounting and proper edge alignment relative to the door and pillar.
• Reasonable repair cost thanks to the use of a part sourced from dismantling.
