E39 M5 Dimming Mirror Fix

Theo · 07-26-2016, 10:40 PM

So this shit finally happened and I really don't want to pay $500+ for a new rear view mirror.

I did some research and found this fix and ordered the glass from the UK. ($138 shipped)

Reading through the fix it seems pretty simple. The only part that I am a little scared to do is taking the mirror body itself apart. He mentions you might break some of the clips. What happens if you break to many.

Does anyone know anyone who has attempted this type of fix on their E46 M3 or E39 M5?
