Replace BMW E46 Mirror

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side mirror

Want to replace the mirror inside the mirror housing of a BMW? Let's see how to remove the piece from inside the mirror housing. Pry between the edge of the mirror housing and the mirror itself. Keep prying until the mirror detaches from the housing (disconnect the power cable from behind the mirror). Install the new mirror, ensuring the plastic clips snap into the supports of the housing. Adjust the mirror in the housing once installation is complete (use the adjustment buttons or the manual lever).
