Technical characteristics of the Mini rearview mirror

This rearview mirror is designed specifically for the Mini brand, maintaining factory assembly standards and ergonomics. Its location at the rear of the cabin provides the driver with a clear view of the surroundings behind the vehicle, while the integrated dimming function automatically adjusts the reflection level to suit lighting conditions.

Thanks to its OEM-compliant design, the mirror works with the vehicle's electrical system, and its geometry is matched to the factory windshield mount. This translates into a stable fit, no vibrations while driving, and maintaining the correct field of view.

Self-dimming function and comfort of use

A key feature of this model is the dimmable mirror, which reduces the intensity of light coming from the rear of the vehicle. A light intensity sensor and a carefully selected electrochromic coating allow for smooth dimming without driver intervention. This solution:

• increases the comfort of driving at night by reducing eye fatigue,
• improves safety by providing a clear image without glare,
• maintains good visibility in changing lighting conditions.

Compared to a classic manual mirror, the dimming version provides more stable and predictable operation, especially on expressways where light intensity differences are large.

Condition, origin and fit for Mini

The Mini R57 rearview mirror offered is a used item, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and has seen real-world use. This type of part is a good choice when maintaining the original interior appearance and compatibility with the vehicle's factory systems are key.

Thanks to the original Mini solution, the mirror maintains the correct proportions, shape, and mounting method. This simplifies installation and helps avoid problems typical of replacements, such as incorrect viewing angles or differences in surface finish.

Application, identification and benefits of choosing OEM

The mirror is designed to be mounted in the rear of the cabin, in place of the factory windshield mount. The presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specifications facilitates precise identification and selection of the component for the specific configuration of your Mini vehicle. Choosing an original dimming mirror allows you to:

• maintain stylistic consistency of the interior with other furnishings,
• maintain factory visibility and ergonomics parameters,
• minimize the risk of assembly and fit problems.

This solution is especially recommended for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged mirror or restoring a car to near-factory condition.
