Purpose and fitment
The presented cover is a component dedicated to the left external mirror in BMW E81 and E87 series vehicles. The design, based on the factory solution, ensures proper fitment with the mirror housing, correct edge alignment, and stable mounting on the clips. As a result, the original geometry of the mirror is maintained after installation, which is important for both aerodynamics and user comfort.
Color and Alpinweiss 3 finish
The cover is finished in Alpinweiss 3 – 300, used as a factory standard in many BMW models. This allows for reducing or completely eliminating the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle’s body paint matches this code. The uniform color and appropriate structure of the paint coating facilitate achieving a consistent visual effect after replacing the part, which is essential for post-accident repairs and restoring the car to a condition close to factory specifications.
Characteristics of the used part
The mirror cover comes from dismantling and is offered as a used part. This type of component is a cost-effective solution for repairs where maintaining the manufacturer’s original specifications is important while optimizing costs. A used element from the External mirrors group allows for a technically correct replacement without the need to use aftermarket parts with uncertain fitment.
Benefits of using an original mirror cover
Using a factory mirror cover for the BMW E81/E87 ensures:
- preservation of the original body line and the correct mirror profile,
- proper fitment to the adjustment mechanism and turn signal (if present in the vehicle’s specific configuration),
- color consistency with Alpinweiss 3 paint,
- reduced installation time thanks to the OEM-compliant design.
Installation area and additional components
The cover operates in a sensitive side area of the vehicle, exposed to parking damage and weather conditions. A properly selected component helps protect the internal mirror parts, such as the adjustment mechanism or electrical wiring, from moisture and dirt. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side area in your BMW and need other parts from the same group, such as housings, glass inserts, or complete mirror sets, check the available parts in the BMW external mirrors category.
