Function and application in the BMW E87

This switch is designed as a factory control module for the driver's window and electric mirror folding in the BMW 1 Series E87. It integrates buttons responsible for the following in a single housing:

• controlling the raising and lowering of the driver's side window,
• operating the exterior mirror folding function,
• compatibility with the vehicle's factory electrical system.

Thanks to this, the driver retains convenient access to key body functions without interfering with the original control system.

Module construction and integration with the installation

The BMW E87 Window Lifter Switch Power Fold Unit Regulator Driver's Side is manufactured as a compact module mounted in the door panel, with a factory connector matched to the BMW electrical harness. The design provides:

• a dedicated contact layout for the window raising and lowering function,
• a separate control path for the mirror folding function,
• a housing adapted to the standard mounting hole in the driver's door.

Such a solution allows for maintaining the original interior aesthetics and proper cooperation with factory comfort systems.

Part selection and compatibility

To correctly select this switch for a specific BMW E87, it is worth verifying compatibility with the vehicle's equipment (presence of electric mirror folding) and comparing the part markings with the currently installed component. The module has an assigned OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in BMW catalogs and minimizes the risk of selecting the wrong variant.

In case of doubt, it is recommended to compare the shape of the housing, the type of connector, and the button layout with the switch currently used in the driver's door.

Condition, purchase benefits, and installation

The offered item is in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged module while maintaining the original BMW specification. Using a factory switch from the same model group ensures:

• visual consistency with other interior elements,
• proper cooperation with the vehicle's electrical system,
• the possibility of installation in place of the old component without modifying the wiring.

For workshops and individual users, this means shorter repair times and reduced costs compared to purchasing a new module.
