The presented mirror is specifically designed for the BMW 1 Series E87, guaranteeing a proper fit to the body lines and correct integration with factory door mountings.

Quarzblau Metallic A18 Color and Body Aesthetics
The Quarzblau Metallic – A18 paint is a distinctive, metallic blue shade used by BMW from the factory. Using a mirror in the same color helps minimize shade differences between the component and the rest of the car body, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and visual restorations. For owners who care about the cohesive appearance of their car, this is a practical solution that reduces the need for additional painting work.
Function and Role of the Exterior Mirror
The left-side exterior mirror plays a crucial role in monitoring the vehicle’s surroundings, especially when changing lanes, maneuvering in the city, and parking. A properly selected component from the Exterior Mirrors group influences:
- clarity of the image in the blind spot,
- stability of the mirror’s position while driving,
- comfort of observing the surroundings in various road conditions.
Choosing an original mirror dedicated to a specific BMW model minimizes the risk of installation problems and ensures compliance with factory safety standards.
Characteristics of a Used OEM Component
The offered mirror is a used original BMW part, meaning it comes from a vehicle disassembly and retains the manufacturer’s factory specifications. In practice, this translates to:
- dimensional compatibility with the door and mounting bracket,
- proper fit with seals and trim,
- maintenance of the original body styling line.
For many users, this is a beneficial solution combining savings with the preservation of quality standards appropriate for OEM parts.
Part Numbers and Interchangeable Compatibility
The mirror has an assigned OEM part number and related interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific BMW 1 Series E87 equipment version. Before purchasing, it is advisable to compare the designations with your vehicle’s data or consult a mechanic to confirm full assembly compatibility. This minimizes the risk of selecting the wrong mirror variant within the same model generation.
