Purpose and compatibility
This mirror is designed for installation inside the cabin, in the driver’s rear field of view. Designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series E87 facelift (LCI) and Mini R58 and R59 models, it ensures proper mounting, a proper viewing angle, and compatibility with the factory equipment of these vehicles.
Thanks to the use of the manufacturer’s original technology, the mirror works with the car’s electrical system, maintaining functions related to auto-dimming and integration with on-board systems.
Functions and technical solutions
The mirror is equipped with an auto-dip (EC) system, which is an electrochromatic automatic dimming system. Light sensors analyze conditions behind the vehicle and reduce glare from the headlights of cars behind, improving image clarity and reducing driver eye fatigue.
The presence of LED elements allows for integration with interior lighting or signaling, depending on the vehicle’s configuration. The mirror is also compatible with the vehicle’s radio system, enabling the transmission of selected signals between vehicle modules in accordance with the manufacturer’s factory specifications.
Benefits of using the original mirror
Using the original interior mirror in a BMW E87 LCI or Mini R58/R59 ensures:
- Full assembly compliance – proper attachment to the windshield and correct positioning relative to the driver.
- Stable operation of the auto-dimming system – improved driving comfort at night and in heavy traffic conditions.
- Compatibility with vehicle electronics – compatibility with the radio system and LED lighting as intended by the manufacturer.
- Aesthetically matched to the interior – preserving the original cockpit appearance and quality of finish typical of BMW and Mini.
Parts condition and assembly aspects
The mirror is offered in used condition, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and retains its factory-specified functionality. This type of part is a good choice for accident repairs, replacing a damaged mirror, or restoring a car to its factory configuration.
The mirror is mounted in place of the factory mount on the windshield. By following basic maintenance procedures and properly connecting the wiring harness, the mirror can be installed in a plug-and-play manner, without any modifications to the interior structure.
