If you
own a E39 M5 and haven't experienced a rear view mirror failure chances are
good that you will experience such an issue down the road. I was unfortunate as
my interior trim was ruined by the failure of my mirror in my E46 M3 (same mirror).
Personally for me this was a big inconvenience when it first happened, now our
company is able to offer other BMW owners a less painful experience by being
able to offer a Refurbished Genuine BMW Oval Mirror's by replacing the failed
auto-dimming mirror glass!!
The Failure Symptoms:
· Auto-Dimming feature has stopped
· Liquid appears behind glass, there is a
wave/fluid level behind the glass (see below image of a
failed mirror)
· Damaged/Ruined interior surface
(typically around the gear level trim)
I've
owned a E46 M3 and my rear view mirror failed and so have thousands of
other BMW owners globally.
It is
common knowledge that BMW only provide and supply owners a option to purchase a
complete New mirror that has the glass, housing, electrics and base
plate for a substantially insane cost of circa £350-400. This is nor
economical, cost effective, or environmentally sound to throw/dispose of a
whole BMW mirror just because 1 component has failed...THE MIRROR GLASS. Most
owners who have a faulty mirror are also reluctant to purchase a used/2nd hand
mirror, because there is no guarantee how long the mirror will last, it could
be fail at ANY time.
THEREFORE
OUR SERVICES THAT OFFER GENUINE BMW REPAIRED MIRRORS WITH 1 YEAR WARRANTY MAKE
COMPLETE SENSE!!
Below is
some info about how the mirrors work..
What is
an electrochromic mirror and how does it work?
An auto dimming mirror is comprised of two pieces of glass that are slightly
overlapped on the edges, sealed together and have a transparent conductive gel
or fluid injected between the layers of glass. A mirror coating is applied to
the rear portion of the glass and when a very low voltage is applied to the
overlapped edges of the glass the gel darkens and reduces the amount of light
transmitted and eliminates glare.
An electronic circuit board is attached to the rear of the mirror with wire
leads soldered to the edges of the glass. There are two photocells (light
sensors) - one facing out the front windshield and one facing the rear of the
car. If a sufficient amount of light is hitting the forward facing sensor the
mirror will conclude that it's daytime and will not dim the glass, regardless
of what the rear facing sensor sees. As it starts to get dark outside the
forward sensor sees less light - concludes it's night-time and when the rear
facing sensors sees any light behind the car the voltage flow is opened and the
mirror begins to dim. The level of dimming is determined by the combination of
light levels the two sensors are detecting.
How do
the mirrors fail?
The failure of the mirrors is due to a manufacturing defect by the company
whom manufactured the special auto dimming mirror glass for BMW. The mirrors
are sealed along the edges of glass and over time the seal breaks down and
eventually fails, allowing the fluid to escape which is replaced by air. The
amount of fluid that escapes and whether it begins to leak depends on where the
seal breach is located. If the seal fails on the bottom of the mirror the fluid
is going to escape a lot more quickly than if it's on the top. In most cases it
takes a few years for the seal to fail - the environment that the car is in can
have an impact on how long the mirrors last. Heat is known to accelerate the
process so if you live in a hot climate and park your car outside in the sun
for extended periods your mirror is going to fail sooner. MANY BMW OWNERS WHO
EXPERIENCE MIRROR FAILURE ESPECIALLY IN WARM CLIMATES, END UP HAVING DAMANGED
INTERIOR TRIM.
