Second Hand BMW X1 Wing Mirror

The BMW X1 has run across two main generations: the E84 (first generation, 2009–2015) and the F48 (second generation, 2015–2022), with the F48 receiving a facelift around 2019. These generations use completely different mirror designs, so you must match the generation to your car, not just the year. Always confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

A 2014 X1 is an E84 (first generation), while a 2016 X1 is an F48 (second generation) — these are entirely different platforms and the mirrors will not interchange. The 2015 model year sits right on the boundary between these two generations, so if your car is from that period, confirm which generation it actually is by checking the registration with the breaker. Never assume a mirror fits just because the years are close together.

Yes, side is critical — a nearside (NS, passenger/left) mirror will not fit the offside (OS, driver/right) and vice versa. Make sure you order the correct side for your car and tell the breaker clearly whether you need NS or OS. Swapping sides is not possible, so double-check before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect the basic fitment of the mirror housing — an SE, Sport, xLine, or M Sport mirror from the same generation and side will physically fit the same mounting points. However, you may find cosmetic differences such as mirror cap colour or finish between trims, and these can be resprayed or swapped if needed as they do not affect fitment. Feature variants such as folding, heated, or indicator-equipped mirrors should be confirmed against your registration with the breaker, as these can vary across the range regardless of trim name.

The F48 generation runs from 2015 to 2022 and received a facelift around 2019. While both are the same generation, whether a pre-facelift (2015–2019) mirror crosses over to a post-facelift (2019–2022) car is not straightforward, and subtle changes to the housing or features may affect compatibility. Confirm with the breaker using your exact registration to establish whether the specific part will fit your car.

Colour is a preference, not a fitment issue — the mirror frame and housing will physically fit regardless of what colour it is painted. Used mirrors from breakers often won't match your car's colour exactly, but the housing can be resprayed to match. Focus your search on getting the correct generation, side (NS or OS), and confirming any features you need with the breaker.
