BMW F10 mirrors question?
Hi there,
I have an F10 with non dimming mirrors, due to in the UK loads of people driving with poorly adjusted headlights, foglights on, badly fitted HIDs etc means that I'm constantly getting blinded in the side mirrors. The auto dimming mirror in the middle does a fine job. I've found these mirrors which are OEM (or so they say) on eBay heated and dimming side mirrors, you can tell by the outline they are dimming mirrors. The big question is are they a direct replacement for the non dimming ones? do they just use the same power from the heating contact or does it require another unit and/or some coding. I would of hoped with something so simple it would be a direct replacement? Link here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-5-SERI...item3a9fb05c79 |

Not a cheap option for sure, the auto folding mirror! My one was damaged by cyclist over xmas, got it changed without having to replace the colour coded cover, the price was 990 Euros!

I'd heard these were not cheap elsewhere but that is ridiculous. They are very good but that is way too expensive. I've often wondered how much a car would cost if you built it from all parts sourced separately, 6 figures no doubt. |

960 for the complete mirror without the colour coded plastic cover, my one is the Auto folding so needed to replace the bottom cover and the motor! the heated mirror auto dim was at around 300 euro, I remember the 1st quote given to me was at around 600 Euros than dealer called me back after they realised my car had the auto dim heated mirror so my price went up to 960 Euros, painful as I like to keep my insurance free of claims I get a good discount bonus, if it breaks again I am going down the insurance route. My dealer was nice to charge me only the parts not the installation.
