M3 Aftermarket Stlye Mirrors

RaihaX · 02-01-2012, 09:32 PM

I need a generous 1M owner in Perth LOL.

Harlequin · 02-01-2012, 09:33 PM

Haha... AND about $600 to order the rest of the bits...

RaihaX · 02-01-2012, 09:34 PM

I want the CF caps though

Harlequin · 02-01-2012, 09:43 PM

I'm actually thinking that I want to go back to the white caps for these. I think it will show the lines of the mirrors better...

Cost of parts I still need at today's exchange rate (incl. shipping): $589.08 AUD

Happy with that... That's a saving of 80.4% off the local price.

RaihaX · 02-01-2012, 09:52 PM

well let me know how it goes - are you not gettin auto dip?

I love auto dip - saved my wheels from destruction ahha..

I don't think Auto Dip means what what you think it does... Pretty sure that's to do with the mirrors darkening if you shine a headlight at them from behind...

Ev from Tischer told me (based on my VIN) that I don't have Auto Dipping mirrors but I do have the thing where the passenger mirror tilts down when I'm in reverse - love that.

Found this site: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E9...?search=mirror

It lists another part number for the left hand mirror:

MIRROR GLAS HEATED PLANE LEFT 51-16-8-046-507 USD 60.49

Version 1 is what we need for the right hand (driver's) mirror
Version 2 is what we need for the left hand (passenger's) mirror

That brings the price down to 601.29 USD - 561.726 AUD

RaihaX · 02-02-2012, 12:09 AM

Isnt that Auto-dim (where it dims the mirror?) and auto dip is where it tilts???

So confused lol.

I will wait for you and you can just tell me the part number!

RaihaX · 02-05-2012, 03:32 AM

any update angus ?

Harlequin · 02-05-2012, 03:34 AM

Haven't ordered them yet.. Gonna visit BMW and get confirmation of which part numbers they would order if I were to get the kit from them...

I'm a little hesitant about ordering the parts until I'm 100% that I'm getting the right bits...

Sounds like a good plan, I will wait for you

Bruck · 04-05-2012, 10:01 PM

This thread needs pics of these 1M mirrors on 135s. Not enough out there to see each color example.

Harlequin · 04-06-2012, 02:10 AM

That's be easier to do if we could actually get the bloody things...

Zeros and ones · 04-06-2012, 11:02 AM

you can

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...93&hg=51&fg=95

careful though if you have auto dimming mirrors these can get really expensive

Harlequin · 04-06-2012, 11:08 AM

Yeah... We've already been through all of that... The problems are:

US ones are different part numbers - Different Glass and Electronics for LHD/RHD
Confusion around Auto Dimming / Auto Dipping... One retailer in Europe is absolutely adamant that the ///M Mirrors do not have auto dipping - which we believe to be bullshit...

There's also 3 different types of glass - not including heated/non-heated.

Basically its just really hard to nail down exactly what is required and there's no "Kit" part number for RHD cars like there is for LHD...

Oh, and BMW Australia will take care of all of this for you for the low-low price of $3000...

And if you order the wrong parts your F'd.... Expensive little mod

Harlequin · 04-07-2012, 01:07 AM

Exactly.

RaihaX · 04-07-2012, 01:09 AM

I had a second attempt on my quest to get this - no one could confirm if I will retain all my original functionality (auto dip).

So no way in hell I am paying that much for something that may not work - will wait for someone else to be the guinea pig

Bruck · 04-07-2012, 12:03 PM

Seriously - not 1 single picture. Here are (I believe Original OEM Versions) on Jzhang's Monaco Blue with 1M Mirrors.

RaihaX · 04-07-2012, 10:03 PM

It is oem but Dan say no auto dip for his mirror

RaihaX · 05-04-2012, 05:19 AM

Hmm I am interested in doing this again now after seeing this thread.

Upgrade to power folding mirror and auto dim mirror at the same time.

Curare86 · 07-28-2012, 04:20 AM

did you ever end up making it work Harlequin?
what about these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-fiber...f150f8&vxp=mtr

flinchy · 07-28-2012, 05:28 AM

any final solution for this?

what does heated mirrors mean? lol always been confused by that

also, if i have the internal auto mirror dim, does that mean i have external mirror dim (definitely have the auto reverse dip :P) ... being able to have the auto fold via coding would be the amazeballs too lol

i've wanted m mirrors for so long (even on my non bmw cars haha)
