Funny you ask, one of the triangular parts broke on me in transit and I ended up asking myself the same question.
From how it's built from the factory, I don't think this is possible without breaking anything. I know there are plastic rivet style tabs that join the triangular pice and that can't be separated easily. As for the folding hinge, I don't think you can cleanly separate the two parts. I could be wrong. Check if there are any bolts when looking down the middle of the hinge section where the tension spring is mounted. Real OEM doesn't have much info on the LCI power fold style under e82. They may for another LCI E chassis car though. I ended up gluing the broken piece cleanly enough that the beak is very unnoticeable on the triangular plastic. |

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread here...
I'm about to retrofit pre-facelift (smaller) door mirrors, and don't need powerfold or auto-dim but I would really like the tilt in reverse function. My car has manual seats, so I've also ordered the LIN bus door harnesses. Where I'm stuck, is there are several versions of the mirrors. The 'memory' version of the mirrors are about $200 more per side than the regular versions. If I only need the tilt in reverse and not the 3 preset memory positions, do I still need to buy the memory versions of the mirrors? |

When it comes to mirrors of the e89 plarform here are only 2 different versions: basic/low and LIN/high. To realize any single of the LIN/high features you need the full chain of LIN/high enabled components plus some coding of modules Depending on market you may find housings or mirrors that support only part of the full LIN/high features. But frankly NA tends to get all or nothing as standard, so those are probably your component options at US dealers. When checking for parts on realoem crosslink option s430. Option s430's description in realoem suggests that this option is all about auto dip, but in effect it is also needed for fold-in and the memory setting of the mirrors. Other basic features like adjustment and heating are not different in user experience between the basic and LIN version. |

Facelift or not does not change any of the mirror dimensions, coding or other considerations. Thus as long as you select the LIN/high version of your current mirror style (135/128/regular or M) you can reuse your caps. |
