Purpose and fitment

The cover has been designed as a factory component for BMW E90 and E91 LCI models, ensuring the correct geometry and body lines are maintained. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle guarantees compatibility with the standard mirror mount and proper adhesion to the mirror glass and indicator, without the need for modifications. The Alpinweiss 3 color (paint code 300) allows for aesthetic integration with the bodywork, reducing the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same factory shade. As a result, replacing a damaged cover can be carried out quickly and with predictable visual results.

Technical characteristics of the mirror cover

As an item from the Mirror parts category, the cover acts as an external shield for the mirror module, protecting internal components from weather conditions. The OEM construction ensures appropriate rigidity, stable clips, and correct edge alignment relative to the door and side window. The Alpinweiss 3 finish complies with BMW's factory standards, which helps maintain a uniform paint surface along the side of the vehicle. The used nature of the part allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Benefits of using an original cover

Using an original mirror cover in the body color provides several practical advantages:

• preservation of the factory styling line and mirror proportions relative to the body,
• secure fitment with the existing housing and mirror glass,
• reduction of vibration risks and unwanted aerodynamic noise,
• possibility of quick replacement of a damaged cover without interfering with the mirror's electrical installation. Thanks to this, the cover is suitable for both post-accident repairs and replacing parts due to wear and tear, maintaining visual and functional consistency with other body components.
