Cracked Side Mirrors

Just wondering in anyone has come across this problem, I have hairline cracks on the black gloss part on both my side mirrors. I have spoken to the dealer and they have order me 2 new mirrors under warranty.

Do you get to keep the old cracked ones once they replace them?

Maybe we can talk price on your old ones

Thanks Joe. It looks like it seems to be a manufactures problem if there has been so many cases of it.

Did BMW replace yours?

I will ask the question but I think the dealer will have send them back so they can get paid for the warranty work but will keep you posted if I have any luck

BMW Adelaide didn't even question it with mine and told me it will be a couple of weeks away as they got to come from Germany. Hopefully you guys have no problems in Sydney.

What's the drivers seat coding all about Ian? I haven't heard about that one?

I found with a helmet on, it'd be good if the seat could go lower ... I thought you needed to mod the rails tho.
