Outside mirror

[enoz05]

Can someone give me information about this mirror please? Is it for e9 or e3?

Nice mirror


In the ‘80 these mirrors were also used on the Mitsubishi (with Mitsubishi stamp )
Nowadays you can new mirrors

e.g. https://www.loentje.com/shop/bmw-02/exterieur/chromen-buitenspiegel-links-bmw-vanaf-1973/


Used on the e3, e9 e10

You mentioned first that the BMW stamp is missing. But I see you have removed it now.
Do you mean that the mirror is aftermarket?
Can you show me a picture of an Original mirror?

I checked on tree of my cars. They are all similar. So in my opinion yours is original.

And the first e9 had a trapezium shape. This is (after 1973) and the square one.

What is the value of an original side mirror in good condition?

 

[Fritzie]

In the link i sent you a new one costs hundred euro

 

[enoz05]

Is that a reproduction or Original

There is no number on it, so o think it’s a reproduction

 

[enoz05]

Is an Original worth more than a reproduction?

 

[eriknetherlands]

To me, yes. Original was only once. Repro is always second choice when identical features.

you can look into the inside of the foor of the mirror:

I recently sold one (earlier style) - picture below

I put those on my 2002s when I had them. No one should pay 100 euro for them, IMNSHO but new and without scratches they do look nice. Some elbow grease and metal polish can do wonders.
