51167189571 BMW OUTS.MIRROR

This mirror does exactly what it sounds like – it heats up. It has a heating element built right into the glass. That element warms the mirror surface, and sometimes a little around it, to clear away things like frost, ice, and even condensation. It’s usually tied into the rear window defroster circuit, so they often work together. It, of course, also functions as a standard rearview mirror, allowing you to see traffic behind and beside you. It's part of your vehicle’s overall visibility system. It works alongside your other mirrors and windows to give you a clear view of what’s around you. The heated part is really about improving visibility in bad weather. It’s a convenience feature, but a pretty valuable one when you need to see clearly. Visibility is key to safe driving, plain and simple. Ice and frost on your mirrors can seriously limit what you can see, especially in winter. This heated mirror acts like a shield against that, clearing the view quickly. You’ll notice if this stops working – you’ll be scraping ice or waiting for the defroster to eventually clear it, which takes time and can be frustrating. If you’re looking to replace one, Fixparts Online has a good selection of these, and they’ll have the correct one for your vehicle if you enter your make and model. It’s one of those things you don’t think much about until it’s not working, then you really miss it. Smart choice: Heated Exterior Mirror (Left) (MPN 51167189571) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
