Hey,

I was just wonder if anyone has purchased the m3 style mirrors off ebay and how the fitment and look was. Any pictures would be great.

i was wondering the same thing.... thanks

pat has them but i cant remeber what he did to fit them

I have bought some GEN 2 mirrors, much the same as the M3's but a slightly different shape. They came with a fitting kit but no bolts but a quick visit to the hardware store fixed that.

Only problem I did find is that the mounting plate is about 5/6 mm smaller than the old one, leaving a gap in the window seal which I did not notice until my front foot well was full of water... and yes I do mean full! Easily fixed with some sealant, but not something you want to find out after!

that looks pretty good. do you by any chance have a pic from the other side (the mirror itself) ?

I bought my G2 mirrors off ebay after seeing them on here. I just installed them.
And I did apply sealant thanks for the tip wilko.
I love the look but the reflective surface is kinda cheap it looks a little warped near the edges.

Just baught them piece of cake to install and look great, sorry no pics

theyre not power though, right?

there is one seller i was looking at that claimed they were power mirrors.

I noticed yours are blue at night. Is that a standard or is there an option for the color?

I bought mine off of ebay too. Mine ahd an option of blue or amber. Theyre three small LED's so you can't even see them during the day. They are power mirrors, but the LH side only goes up or down, and the RH side only goes left or right. Yes they are a bit smaller, but like the other guy said, a little sealant does the job.
GO here for more pictures!!

Ok I was just curious how they are wired up? I'm looking at the wiring and I really have no idea cuz nothing matches up. Help would be appreciated! thanks
