This product offers a targeted solution: a pair of replacement rearview mirror shells specifically designed for the BMW 3 Series E90. Compatible with both the 2006-2008 and 2009-2012 model years, these shells allow you to refresh the exterior appearance of your vehicle's mirrors directly. They are manufactured from ABS plastic and come in your choice of a classic Black finish or a contemporary Carbon Pattern design. Supplied as a complete pair to ensure both sides match, they are packaged in a box measuring 27cm by 20cm by 15cm with a shipping weight of 500g, ready for straightforward installation onto your existing mirror mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/124ddcbe-f56f-4c09-8174-c8c1a1283ce5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement set is engineered to provide a precise, factory-style fit for the specified BMW models. The design focuses on practical renewal of a visible exterior component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shells are constructed from ABS plastic, a material commonly used in automotive applications for components like trim, grilles, and mirror housings. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is chosen for its favourable properties, including good impact resistance, rigidity, and its ability to withstand exposure to sunlight and varying weather conditions without significant warping or degradation. This makes it a practical choice for an exterior part that needs to maintain its shape and appearance. The housing is a single-piece shell designed to clip or secure over the existing mirror's internal mechanism and glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product's compatibility is clearly defined by vehicle model and original equipment (OE) part numbers. It is confirmed to fit the BMW 3 Series E90 for the model years 2006-2008 and 2009-2012. It matches several OE references: 51167135098, 51167135097 for the earlier models, and 51167205291, 51167205292 for the later models. This precise specification is crucial for ensuring a correct fit, as mirror housing shapes can differ between model years. The product is supplied as one pair, meaning you receive both the left-hand and right-hand side housings, which are typically mirror images of each other to correspond with the vehicle's sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/2ba7e237-059e-4428-bf81-c20df9e2aa1c.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product serves a specific function within automotive maintenance and personalisation. Its primary use case is clear, with potential applications in different contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor automotive repair workshops, body shops, or detailers, this product represents a cost-effective parts solution for customer vehicles. Instead of sourcing and fitting a complete, more expensive mirror assembly, a technician can efficiently replace just the damaged or unsightly shell. This can be particularly useful for cosmetic repairs following minor incidents, refresh jobs for used car sales, or routine maintenance where only the housing is compromised. The availability in two finishes—Black and Carbon Pattern—also allows for a degree of customisation at the point of service, offering clients a choice beyond the standard OEM look if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the BMW E90 owner undertaking their own maintenance, this product is designed for a manageable DIY installation. The \"replacement installation\" method indicates that the existing, faulty shell is removed, and this new one is fitted in its place, typically reusing the original mirror glass, motor, and mounting bracket. This process is generally less complex than replacing an entire powered mirror unit, which may involve electrical connections. It provides a practical way to restore a neat, factory-fresh appearance to the vehicle's mirrors, addressing issues like sun damage, scratches, or broken clips without professional garage costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/4c77b2f0-128c-45b1-b418-d6a613f9c769.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value of this product lies in its targeted functionality and the practical advantages it offers over alternative solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key benefit is the reuse of your vehicle's existing mirror internals. The motor, glass, heating element, and wiring are all retained, which is both economical and environmentally sensible compared to discarding a fully functional assembly. Once installed, the ABS plastic shell requires minimal ongoing maintenance; routine washing with the rest of the vehicle is sufficient. Its material properties mean it is designed to be durable in an automotive environment, resisting the effects of UV exposure and typical road grime to maintain its appearance over time without special treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing this product centres on its specific compatibility and focused purpose. It eliminates the guesswork for BMW E90 owners by being explicitly designed for the 2006-2008 and 2009-2012 model years, with corresponding OE part numbers provided for verification. The option between a standard Black finish and a Carbon Pattern design offers a level of personalisation, allowing you to either maintain the original look or add a subtle styled accent. As a complete pair, it ensures a symmetrical result. The packaging is compact (27x20x15cm), making it straightforward to store or transport, and the 500g weight confirms it is a relatively lightweight component, which can be helpful for shipping cost considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/63090231-366b-428d-bf32-8bb3397b0a70.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/7d156369-cf6f-42d8-a7b7-ea002fcd28d4.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/ea017379-2be2-4353-9805-3c34d3320d8f.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/f0f57b1e-2ede-4b88-81a3-803dc2e9360d.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/fa9fa449-7720-4c28-bcb3-5a7aa5da1eb5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pair of black ABS plastic rearview mirror shells for BMW 3 Series E90, shown alongside original equipment part numbers.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US12\/506\/2025-10-02\/original-image\/ffb6426e-3169-41ed-9e4b-904be6607f1c.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test3335pja0yxkp0","offers":[{"title":"06 08 Black","offer_id":59845877432654,"sku":"CJYD181406901AZ","price":67.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"06 08 Carbon Pattern","offer_id":59845877465422,"sku":"CJYD181406902BY","price":70.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"09 12 Black","offer_id":59845877498190,"sku":"CJYD181406903CX","price":73.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"09 12 Carbon Pattern","offer_id":59845877530958,"sku":"CJYD181406904DW","price":76.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1040\/6926\/7790\/files\/ea017379-2be2-4353-9805-3c34d3320d8f.webp?v=1781021181","url":"https:\/\/ru7j1y-ya.myshopify.com\/products\/rearview-mirror-shell-replacement-for-bmw-3-series-e90-2006-2008-2009-2012-models-black-or-carbon-pattern-abs-plastic-housing-direct-oe-fit-pair-51167135098-51167135097-51167205291-51167205292","provider":"AuraZen.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
