Euro Rear View Mirrors

Kev · 09-22-2007, 09:13 PM

Did anyone try this mod yet?

If you don't know, the Euro mirrors' outer section acts as a convex lens that eliminates the blind spot of traditional rear view mirrors. I had them on my previous car (a Mercedes).

These are the P/Ns

how much are the parts? i was thinking about this mod any idea?

Kev · 09-22-2007, 09:29 PM

since they are chromatic (auto-dimming), brand new glass is a little over 200 a piece! (realoem.com pricing)

I have tried ordering this part from my bmw dealer's parts department, as well as online. Both time they told me that the part has been discontinued. The part# I asked for was:

MIRROR GLAS, HEATED, WIDE-ANGLE, LEFT 1 51167145267 $83.98

I found only the left mirror having the wide angle is sufficient in most cases.

Where did you get your part# from?

any new updates? I'm really hating the huge passenger side blind spot I experience on my E90.

US Dealers don't have the ability to order this part. So, I'm waiting for the E90 M3 Sedan one to become available and do a full swap

That's the non-dimming mirror. If you have the premium package you want the autochromic mirrors.
