How to Replace the Outside Rearview Mirror on a BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 F11, F10 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Side mirror

To replace the outside rearview mirror on a BMW 5 Series, first remove the door panel: use a tool to pry off the trim at the top of the panel. This will allow you to loosen all the screws located under the trim and those found under the internal handle area. Once the door panel is removed, you can detach the triangular panel corresponding to the inside of the mirror. At this point, you can loosen all the screws underneath so that the mirror can be pulled out from the outside.
