Condition

Original used BMW component with visible age-, use- and storage-related wear.

Observed condition includes:

• Dirt and storage dust
• Surface marks and scratches on the black housing
• Weathering and discolouration around the mounting base
• Remnants of sealant or mounting material
• Cosmetic wear around the edges
• Marks and dirt on the mirror glass
• Age-related wear to the wiring and connector
• General cosmetic wear consistent with an original E23 component

The mirror glass appears complete and is not visibly cracked in the supplied photographs.

The electrical adjustment mechanism and possible mirror-glass heating have not been function-tested. The mirror is therefore sold as an untested used component. Mirror heating is not guaranteed and is not advertised as a confirmed feature.

Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
