Purpose and Fitment
The presented cover has been specifically designed as a left mirror housing for BMW E81 and E87 LCI facelift models. The construction matches the factory dimensions and mirror geometry, which facilitates installation and ensures proper adhesion to the body. The element is part of the original BMW exterior mirror system, thus maintaining stylistic consistency with the body line and other components.
Color and Finish
The cover is finished in the color Karmesinrot – A61, characteristic of selected BMW paint configurations. Using the factory shade helps to minimize painting work, especially if the vehicle has the same paint code. The uniform surface finish contributes to a cohesive appearance of the entire body, and the appropriately selected gloss complements the car’s side profile.
Technical Characteristics and Installation
The left mirror housing cover is an exterior body element, so its shape and mounting method are adapted to the standard mirror bracket in BMW E81/E87 LCI. Installation involves mechanical connection to the existing mirror housing, without interfering with the electrical system or adjustment mechanisms. By maintaining the factory geometry, precise alignment with seals and the mirror glass is possible, which reduces unwanted wind noise during driving.
Condition and Benefits of Use
The item comes from secondary circulation, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged housing while maintaining the original manufacturer’s specifications. Choosing such a cover is beneficial in situations where preserving the vehicle’s factory appearance and matching existing mirror components is a priority. Using an original housing also helps maintain proper aerodynamics of the side body section.
