This
listing is for brand new auto-dim glass unit only (for DIY fitment).
This will only fit the Oval rearview mirror fitted to theE46 M3 E39 M5.
I am sure you are here reading this because your current Oval rearview
mirror has failed. You may have experienced some of the following
symptoms of your rearview mirror:
- Mirror is no longer dimming
- Mirror has a yellow tinge to it
- There are patches or bubbles in the glass
- Tide line or variations in colour
- Dust behind the glass
- Halo effect or inner circle present
- Mirror has leaked. Damage to the mirror casing or interior trim
If your mirror has any of the above symptoms; the best thing you can do
it remove it from your car straight away. Please bear in mind if you
have a Convertible M3; by removing your rearview mirror some functions
will stop working. You will no longer be able to lock your car with the
remote fob. The central locking will no longer function and neither will
the alarm. You can still lock the car manually using your key until the
mirror is repaired and refitted in the car. If you have a Coupe,
everything will still work as normal even with the mirror unplugged.
The only tools you will need are a soldering iron (and solder), a small
screwdriver and a knife. You only need to unsolder and re-solder two
wires and you do not need to be that precise with these two wires.
Therefore, if you did a little soldering while at school; that is the
only knowledge you need to perform the repair! It really is easy. 30
minutes maximum if you take your time.
