Autofold Mirrors...Retrofit?

acerboo · 03-14-2009, 01:03 PM

so what do we have to do to retrofit the mirrors apart from buying them please.

nyc3r · 03-14-2009, 01:45 PM

I think you have to get your car programmed to enable the folding switch.. not sure how much dealers will charge for it.

BanziBarn · 11-24-2009, 03:34 AM

Is there an update on this please?

I'm thinking of getting a car without this option but my current car has it and I'm feeling like it's a backwards step.

Thanks!

Very interested!

Can be done. Got it done for $600 at my dealer in Jakarta.

rob_t_j72 · 02-18-2010, 08:22 PM

So what? Why does it disturb you? What does your little LOL comment contribute to this thread?

This thread started in 2007 and there´s been longer jumps than 2 months between comments...

Any DIY yet?

Hey guys - newbie here in UK

This retrofit is fairly simple - you need both mirrors, the switch and the passengers side door loom as it is different.

You then just flash the retro at a dealer

i have a pair of m sport mirrors for sale which i could ship to the USA.
these are in saphire black met and are the genuine folding ones.
i also have the switch but its for RHD but i could send it with them for trial purposes.

A little off topic but I don't want to start a new thread for it:

Do M3 mirrors fit the E90 335i?
