Anyone know the part number for E90 LCI euro aspherical mirror for the driver's side (LHD)? I tried searching but only found the pre-lci ones.

I need them to be heated and auto-dimming. Can't find on real oem.

Remove the painted mirror cover, the part number for yours should be on there.

I'm not looking for the US spec flat mirrors. I want the euro aspherical ones.

I think he's looking to retrofit that glass to his Canadian model.
Yes, these will be tough to find as it seems auto-dimming was not very commonly optioned in Europe.

OK, this wasn't too hard, actually.... here you go: 51167158309

Does anyone know if that black rubber piece that surrounds the mirror is a separate part?

This is what is currently on the car.




However the eBay euro ones just have the glass and no rubber surrounding:

No, the rubber surrounding the edge of the glass is not a separate part. It seems sometime on E90 LCI, BMW decided not to have it.

I don't quite understand. Do you mean that they stopped making the rubber surrounding? It would be weird if I change it to the euro glass without it; it won't match the passenger side mirror.

The plastic-ringed glass was used on early LCI models (2009-2010, I believe), then they switched to auto-dimming glass without surround for 2011-2012.

Yes, it seemed that they stopped having the rubber. My late 2010 328i came without the rubber part. I only had heated mirrors.

When I did a retrofit for folding mirrors, it came with the passenger side glass that had auto-dimming and heated.

But the driver side glass was missing. However, when I wanted to find a driver side glass I noticed the passenger side had this rubber edge, so I had to find one with the rubber part.

The picture of the mirror is from my car. It's a MY2011 which has auto-dimming and heated function which has the rubber surrounding.

Interesting. So, it must be only MY2012 thing.
Take a look at those.

I meant that you should look at (search for) the frameless mirror glass as well as they are a direct swap.

Yeah but the point of my post #6 above is that for some reason, the euro spec mirrors don't have the rubber surrounding but the NA spec ones do have them.

So I'll be left with one side without it and the other side with, so it looks really odd.
