Purpose and function of the BMW mirror mount
This rearview mirror mount/housing/holder belongs to the rearview mirror category and is responsible for a stable connection between the mirror and the body structure at the front of the vehicle. This component absorbs loads resulting from vibrations, air resistance, and door movement, ensuring the mirror maintains its correct position and does not shift while driving.
The black color allows for aesthetic integration with the factory finish of the pillar or mirror base, without the need for additional modifications. The bracket's design is compatible with original BMW solutions, making installation easier and reducing the risk of fitment issues.
Benefits of using the original mirror holder
Using the original rearview mirror mount in your BMW E60, E81, E87, E90, or E92 series allows for technical consistency with the vehicle's factory design. In practice, this means:
- secure mirror mounting – reducing vibrations and improving the readability of the image in the mirror while driving,
- correct installation geometry – maintaining the correct angle of the mirror relative to the driver,
- compatibility with factory components – no need to modify the body or mirror housing,
- aesthetic color matching to other finishing elements.
A used element allows for economical repair of the vehicle while maintaining the original structure, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged handle after a collision or intensive use.
Condition, assembly and technical aspects
The part is offered as used, meaning it has been disassembled and previously operated in a vehicle. These types of components are popular with BMW owners seeking solutions that combine original quality with a reasonable repair cost.
The bracket is designed for mounting at the front of the vehicle, in place of the factory rearview mirror mount. The BMW-specific design simplifies the work of a mechanic or DIY repairer – after properly removing the old component, the existing mounting points can be used, preserving the factory mirror position.
BMW Rearview Mirror Applications and Part Selection
When selecting a mirror mount for a BMW E60, E81, E87, E90, or E92 model, it's crucial to consider compatibility with the specific body style and mirror type (manual, electric, with additional features). An original mounting bracket from the same model family increases the likelihood of trouble-free installation and maintaining the mirror's full functionality.
