Driver side mirror

MrsGX3 · 02-09-2019, 02:30 PM

My driver side mirror motor has died (apparently) and the cost to replace has been quoted at $845. Does that seem high considering the only thing being replaced is the motor? Thanks.

I suspect that they're replacing everything except the outside shell, and maybe that too.

Depends exactly what they're doing, but you can probably save a lot doing it yourself and ordering the motor yourself.

Looks like the driver side mirror motor part # is 67137232743
(so something like https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/67137232743/)

Here's the diagram: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_8136

And the steps to take it apart:

2. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...soles/EIfANsoV

3. Can't quite find the instructions for replacing the motor, but I'm assuming it's pretty self-explanatory.
