Description
M Look Performance Mirrors V2 for BMW E46 3 Series (Before 2003 Models Only)
Inspired by the E60 M5 and E63 M6 models, these performance mirrors are made to a very high standard using the best ABS plastic material for the housing and aluminium for the baseplates. Each baseplate is made for the individual model so will fit straight on without modifying them. Come fully assembled and tested from the factory. These mirrors have a more pointy end and sharper edge design compared to V1 models. They look more similar to the E60 M5 style.
Features:
- Complete mirror assembly
- Anti-glaring blue tinted glasses
- Primed ready for painting
Compatible with E46 3 Series made before 2003:

Retrofitting Electric Folding Function:
It is possible to retrofit the electric folding function if your car does not already have it. Below we explain few options you could do:
1. Purchase the original BMW mirror switch with a folding button and purchase the electric folding mirrors. You will need to have electric memory seats in the car and Fuse No. 57 present to enable this.
2. Purchase a rocker style folding switch from an electrical store and have an auto electrician to get them wired in. The folding motor has two wires and is relatively easy to do so. You will need to find a convenient space to install the new stich on dash.
3. Have an auto electrician wire them into the car's ignition so they could fold up and down when you turn the ignition on and off.
We recommend either Option 1 or 2 for retrofitting. Please contact us if you need more information.
