Passenger mirror replacement instructions

My wife had an unfortunate meeting with the garage wall. I now have to replace her passenger mirror. Does anyone have replacement instructions?

Sorry to hear that happened to yours.
Do you mean how to replace it?
If you do, I'm pretty sure you can follow this

And if you are looking for the part number, have a look at realoem.
Not 100% sure if this is yours, but have a look https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...07#67137461780

Garage List
Pop the mirror glass out (adjust all the way up to get gap), remove the 2 wires (mark them).

Remove the torx screws to get bottom cover and light bar out, it turns and pulls toward you.

Replace bad parts, reinstall, snap cap into place, reattach mirror wires and snap in.

Not sure about the front trim.

Holy smokes.. I hate to see that garage wall... yes my wife did something similar on the X1. Here's my best answer: Get a quote from an autobody shop, and if it's under $400 just get them to do it. So seeing all those parts that are broken I can tell you that my dealer charged an arm and a leg for less parts. I ended up finding some dealer in Georgia I think (it's not coming up in my email right now) that charged less than half my local one.. so call around. The mirror pops straight off. The mirror cap is held on by 3 clips. The bottom and top trim you should be able to find all the screws available. You need some god awful Torx 7 I believe? Sized screwdriver for most of the screws in that mirror. I could not find it in any of my kits, so I found a precision screwdriver set at harbor freight that had it. Since your car is new (looking to me) then your screws hopefully will come out nice. You'll have to also unbolt the mirror holder to get the trim piece back around it. It's not that hard (if all the screws come out) The mirror cap should come color matched already (my wife's was alpine white.. it was white plastic painted). So once taken all apart:
1) put the base back on. 2) finagle the mirror holder back in. 3) put the LED back in. 4) snap the mirror cap back on 5) put mirror back on (has two wires for the heated mirror). Oh yes, the mirror literally pops out.. just pry it off nicely and don't rip off the wires that are attached. Label each wire.
