Second Hand Mercedes-Benz 190E Rear View Mirror

The Mercedes-Benz 190E (W201) was produced as a single generation from 1982 to 1993, so interior mirrors from across the whole production run are generally compatible with one another as the basic mounting and windscreen header design remained consistent throughout. That said, some detail differences exist depending on trim level and specification, so always confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.

For a standard interior rear view mirror, trim level makes very little practical difference on the W201 — the mirror and its mounting are largely consistent across the range regardless of whether you have a base 190E or a higher-specification variant. You may notice minor cosmetic differences in the surround or auto-dimming function on better-equipped cars, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match the finish as closely as possible.

The W201 received a facelift in 1988 which brought some interior updates, and while the basic mirror mounting point on the windscreen is unlikely to have changed fundamentally, whether a pre-facelift mirror swaps directly into a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assume. Name the build year of both the donor and your own car when you contact them.

No — engine choice has no bearing on interior rear view mirror fitment on the 190E, so it does not matter whether your car is a 1.8, 2.0, 2.3, or 2.6 when sourcing this part. Focus your conversation with the breaker on the model year and any trim or factory options your car has instead.

No — the W201 190E and the larger W124 are different platforms with different windscreen and interior architectures, so their rear view mirrors are not directly interchangeable. Stick to sourcing a mirror from a confirmed W201 190E donor vehicle, and let the breaker check compatibility against your registration to be sure.
