BMW mirror fix

Side mirror changes position on its own

[vcious]

I like to say Thank You for this wonderful tutorial. It was very intellutual and knowledgeable of how to fix a mirror. I had a damaged mirror due to overheating & could no longer see out of the mirror. I was able to locate the passenger mirror along with the whole side window assembly at a BMW salvage yard. This saved me $300 out of my pocket because BMW was wanted $440 for a new glass mirror just by itself. By following you tutorial step by step, I was able to successfully switched out the heated sensor and mirror. Now I got a happy wife so I assume I keep having a happy life. LOL

I have the same issue with my 2009 bmw x3 while driving the mirror is always tilt upwards or down wards where i cant see anything. The dealer said they want to turn off the automatic feature by a computer and i dont want that. Now that i saw your video i will try this out. Thanks a lot man

Thanks for the tutorial, but never clean the oxidation on the contacts by sandpaper. It removes the coating on the contact and goes worse soon. Always use a electric contact cleaner spray, and you'll be fine 😊

The glass mirror removal its the same on X3 E 83 ? Thank you

My son has a 2014 435i and he broke the actual mirror trying to remove it to change out mirror covers. I bought a new mirror bit now the mirror won’t move. I can hear the motor trying to move the tilt but it won’t move almost like it’s stuck. I’m assuming he damaged the motor. I removed the long screw big I can’t pull off the mechanism that tilts. Is there a trick. Can you think of something else to fix this issue before I just replace the motor?

Thanks for the post, really helpful, was this the fix for your other mirror that you spoke about getting stuck in different positions?

My mirrors are supposed to fold but they don't. All other movement is fine.
Please advise if it's a cable issue... thanks

Does this help with the actual adjustment of the mirrors from inside of the car/reverse tilt or is it just only for making them fold ?
