Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI
The presented cover is intended for the right side of the body in the facelifted (LCI) version of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91. The design of the part is prepared to work with the factory mirror housing, thus maintaining the vehicle’s body lines and the model’s characteristic styling.
Original mounting points and housing geometry allow for installation in place of a damaged or missing cover without the need for modifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where maintaining factory fitment and proper mirror function is crucial.
Schwarz 2 – 668 Color and Visual Aspect
The Schwarz 2 – 668 color is a classic, dark shade used on BMW bodies, allowing for an aesthetic match with the vehicle’s paintwork. In the case of spot repairs, this simplifies or limits the scope of repainting, especially when the car has a matching factory shade.
A well-chosen mirror cover contributes to the visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle, which is important both for daily use and for later resale of the car. Maintaining uniform color and the correct mirror line enhances the overall impression of the body’s quality.
Characteristics of a Used OEM Part
As a used part, the mirror housing cover offers an economical alternative to new components while maintaining the original manufacturer’s specifications. This means compliance with factory dimensional and material standards, which translates to proper fitment with the mirror and stable mounting.
A used OEM part is particularly useful for repairs after minor collisions or parking damage, where replacing only the cover allows for the restoration of the mirror’s full functionality and aesthetics without interfering with its mechanism.
Benefits of Using an Original Mirror Cover

- Appropriate geometry ensuring correct alignment with the bodywork.
- Schwarz 2 – 668 color facilitating the maintenance of the vehicle’s consistent styling.
