BMW Rear View Mirror diagram for 640i, 650i, 650i xDrive, 740i, 740Li, 750i, & more

An Interior Rear View Mirror is the mirror mounted inside the vehicle’s cabin, usually on the windshield or roof, that allows the driver to see directly behind the car through the rear window. It is a primary safety component, enabling safe lane changes, reversing, and overall situational awareness.

Many modern rearview mirrors also include features such as auto-dimming (to reduce glare from headlights behind), integrated displays (for backup cameras), microphones, or sensors.

• Loose or vibrating mirror – caused by worn mounting hardware or adhesive failure.
• Poor visibility or distortion – glass delamination, scratches, or mirror film deterioration.
• Mirror won’t stay in position – loose ball joint or broken internal adjustment mechanism.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
