I was wondering if we could install the new M5 folding mirrors without losing any of the functions?? I know there is a problem with the M3 mirrors and the heating function, but would it still be there and is there any way to fix it?

 

you could get Inspire rear view mirrors that NightHawkBlack has that fold in and out.

 

getting the inspire mirror will lose the heated mirror function

just fold your mirror manually

 

hMm anything is possible just if you willing to put out the money to do it . . . IMO the mirror heater aint no problem cuz i never use it at all . . but thats me

 

I have both folding mirror and Heated feature. Its a lot of work and you have to compensate for the angle difference in the housing. They work great though.

 

Just don't leave them folded if you parked at a store lot. Some idiot will come along and "fix" it for you.

 

The way the M5 side view mirror folds is a bit different than what most people think about folding side view mirrors.

Here is a MPG of what Beason is talking about.

As for your comments, I dont think it will work... at least it wont be a direct fit and plug in type. I'm sure a lot of work will be involved which boils down to cost.

fixed, try again

 

Is it Lamborghini Door style mirror??



I think INSPIRE looks much better.

 

wow now that's special. i am sure it's hella hard to install on the tl
