I have a 2005 330 Ci ZHP & Iā€™m replacing the mirrors with M3 mirrors, however the wring harness/connectors are totally different. Any suggestions as to how to reconnect other than cutting and splicing?

Ahmed Fazal Ali says:

Hey man, do you have a video on removing the rear mirror housing and sorting out the pin in the gasket… Cheers. Good luck.

Jodi Lumpkin says:

thanks for the video! my mirror is just hanging on by the cables can i just cut them so it doesn't damage my paint until i get a new one? or is there another way to remove it without taking door panel off?

Victor Robinson says:

I just recently broke my passenger side mirror. Same thing happened and the bracket snapped on the mirror but everything else is in perfect condition including the wiring. Can I just replace the bracket or do I have to buy a whole new mirror?

You have the best videos. Can't thank you enough for the tutorials! I've followed your step by step instructions on my '06 M3, and have not broken a part yet! Knock on wood.
Thanks,
Greg

Is that a power folding mirror ?

NutNbutSpeed says:

Come on dude, show it slower in more detail, not all of us have your know how on exactly how things go put together and torn apart. I gotta say this video was sloppy bro although I find them very interesting. But really, slow down and show more detail, you could have shown how to take the back plate on the mirror off and how those cables are routed. Sorry man, not trying to bash you, just giving you feedback as a loyal follower.

those mirrors had the black part glossy, did certain models have that or was it painted to be glossy black, because every one ive seen is just lack plastic and faded. Anyways nice vid man keep up the hard work!

Alexis Romero says:

hey man I love your vids!! can you help me out with something, I have a 2004 325i and recently it has an oil leak , I took it to get it checked out and they told me it was a hose underneath the intake, it doesn't really leak much just like a small puddle but its still noticible when you look underneath the car you can see all the oil on the bottom parts of car , what do you think is the problem and do you think its serious and I should replace it asap ?

By any chance were you in Glendale today?

KingShahKhan says:

make a video on how to replace speakers in the e46 coupe

Devin Smith says:

Be warey that new mirror bases do not come with pre-threaded holes. The screws are self tapping ones, but you can make better threads with a tap. The size is M6x1. Bases, covers and mirror glasses are ordered separately and the cover has only primer paint and needs to be painted. Mirror glasses can be heated or not heated.

Hey shoplife, can you help me out with an issue on my m3, the passenger door will not open from both sides and ive tried everything to try to fix it…. i took the panel off but i still cant get it to open, any help will be appriciated

UncleShrek Sanchez says:

Is there a way to fix a ribbon type plug?? My passenger side mirror does not want to move up/down or right. thanks!

Lycan ZHP says:

OK Jason this is as good a time as any to pose this question. (Nice video by the way). Ok my power mirrors seem to have a will of their own, both sides will adjust by them selves at random? It freaks me out, because I'll check my mirror while driving and the damn thing is pointing at the sky! Even when I park the car I sometimes hear the mirror motor running, making noises like it's trying to adjust the view by itself. So I pulled the fuses (2) for heater and motor so that it doesn't drain my new battery and searched like hell on the web. Lots of stories out there of the same mirror trouble but no fix! Have you seen this? My thumb switch appears to move both mirrors only sometimes, my left to right slide switch seems to be ok too. What do ya u think I should try to fix it?
