Application and Function in BMW 5 Series
The presented mirror belongs to the Exterior Mirrors category and is dedicated to the left side of the BMW 5 Series E60/E61 M Sport version. The construction designed to work with an automatic transmission and the electric folding system allows for full functionality of the factory equipment, including control from the driver’s door switch.
The component has been designed as part of the original styling line, thus maintaining the correct proportions, setting angle, and aerodynamics characteristic of the E60/E61 body. The heated mirror glass supports visibility in colder conditions, reducing fogging and frost buildup.
Spacegrau Metallic and Shadow Line Finish
Spacegrau Metallic A52 paint is a popular, elegant shade of grey used in BMW 5 Series, which complements both light and dark styling packages. The use of Shadow Line / High Gloss / Glanzschwarz finish on the mirror frame and base emphasizes the sporty character of the M Sport version, creating a visually cohesive set with the window trims and other high-gloss elements.
This type of color configuration allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged mirror without the need for additional painting, provided the car has the same paint code and trim package. In case of repainting, the smooth surface and factory structure facilitate preparation for re-painting.
Electric Folding and Heating Technology
The mirror is equipped with an electric folding mechanism (Auto Dip / Power Fold) that works with the factory door controller. This enables:
- folding the mirror from a button inside the vehicle,
- increased safety when parking in tight spaces,
- protection against accidental damage on narrow streets.
The built-in mirror glass heating function supports driving comfort in rain and low temperatures, improving visibility in the vehicle’s side areas. This provides the driver with a stable view of the surroundings, which is important for lane changes and parking maneuvers.

- Visual Consistency – matching Spacegrau Metallic A52 color and Shadow Line finish with other body elements.
