Exterior Mirrors for BMW 128i

BMW 128i Car Truck Exterior Mirrors

The BMW 128i is a model line of coupes from the luxury manufacturer that has been a major success for the company. Primarily built from 2004 to 2013, there are now many of these vehicles on the road, but over the years, your 128i may suffer damage or you might just want to upgrade components like the exterior mirror assembly. Replacing the exterior mirrors on your car can add functionality or upgrade the design of your BMW, but before you consider this, it’s a good idea to know more about the component first.

When replacing the mirror, are there extra design options?

Even if you’re selecting an OEM BMW source, you’ll find that you have some nice aesthetic options when you replace your BMW 128i car and truck exterior mirrors. One of the variations that add a unique look to your mirror is a carbon fiber mirror cover. This component contributes a bit of sportiness to the overall design of the mirror cover on the BMW 128i and also adds some visual effects when reflecting light.

What features can you find on BMW 1 Series mirrors?

Even before you consider the aftermarket, this vehicle has several OEM options for those that want to customize their BMW128i:

  • Signaling Lights: Safety is the most important function of your exterior mirrors, and when you purchase a BMW 1 Series, you’ll have the option to have your mirrors with signaling lights. These lights work just like the ones on the front and rear of your BMW 1 Series; when it’s time to change lanes or turn, the lights will blink when you signal so that drivers to the sides of your vehicle will know ahead of time. These lights come also are available on the aftermarket for the BMW 1 Series coupe as well.
  • Internal Heating: Sometimes it gets cold outside, especially if you live in the northernmost climes of the country. When this is the case, snow, frost, and ice can quickly accumulate on the glass surface of the exterior mirrors on your coupe. Internal heating is a great way to quickly dispel this accumulation and uses internal coils that activate when you turn on the rear defrosters of your BMW convertible.
  • Powered Controls: Another electronic feature, powered controls are more of a convenience feature than a safety one. This feature adds a control pad to the door assembly of your coupe. With it, you can press a direction and the mirror will pivot to your desired positioning. This feature makes it so that you can easily adjust the mirrors on both sides of the convertible.
  • Memory Functionality: If you have multiple people driving your car, this functionality can be very useful. The BMW 1 Series can store up to two presets for its drivers. This allows a user to drive with their most convenient mirror positioning by first setting the preferred orientation, then click the set button, and then choosing one of the two memory buttons.
