Rearview mirror part number request (1M PP2)

[E30 Racer]

For those of you who have upgraded your review mirror to one with more features, could you please post a pic showing the *original* part number (i.e., of the one your removed)? Specifically, I'm looking for the number from a 1M equipped with Premium Package 2 (no alarm), need it for a cross-reference check.

I'd like to add a compass and Homelink, but do not want to loose any pre-swap functionality. From what I've seen, nobody has verified *all* original features still work, particularly highbeam assist.

Using http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/s...roduct=3480466, it appears the only part that will fit my requirement is 51 16 9 225 980. For those of you with an alarm, the number appears to be 51 16 9 225 988. These mirrors offer highbeam assist, autodim, and autowiper compatibility + homelink + compass. Not sure whether they have the later model stubby clown nose.

While very informative, the above link lists 51169192335 as the preferred mirror (homelink, autodim, compass, shallow clown nose), it does not confirm high beam assist will still work. From the link I provided above, the 51169192335 mirror does *not* appear to have the function. It lists the specs as:

51169192335 Rearview mirror EC / LED / GTO / Compass
323i Sedan: From 09/2006 323i Sedan: From 09/2006 325i Sedan: From 09/2006 325xi Sedan: From 09/2006 325xi Wagon: From 09/2006 328i Coupe: From 09/200... Show More $691.17

You have highbeam assist on your 1m?

As far as I know, no US 1M was ever available with highbeam assistant. Since you have no alarm, you will want the following combo of features on your new mirror.

EC/GTO/Compass

The p/n's for the mirrors are a bit strange as I have seen and held mirrors with p/n's on them that wont come up in any diagram search or cross reference. My advice to you is to not worry about the p/n and just make sure the mirror has the features you are looking for.

Honestly, I'm not sure. The owner's manual implies its may, but it also indicates 1M's "high-performance V8 engine runs a little more roughly due to its emissions control system" during warm-up

I may have to visit the dealer this weekend to see if there's an obvious difference between mirrors with and without.

I think BMW forgot to proofread the manual...

Anyone have a picture of a 128/135 with FLA (high beam assist)? It's a $250 standalone option.

Way off-topic, but I wonder if the 5500 RPM break-in restriction is an M3 hangover as well. 5.5k isn't *that* far away from the 7k limiter on the 1M, but pretty far from the M3's 8.4k limit.

My PCD delivery rep indicated a 4.5k break-in should be respected, which is in agreement with the 335is recommendation...

The N54 335i's manual stated 4500 RPM so I believe your suspicion is correct sir.
