Hey mate, Im having trouble reassebling the two halves of the mirror unit. Do you just push the fingers into the slot and rotate? If so, does it need a lot of downward pressure and does it click when its in place? Im really struggling amd dont want to apply more forae than i need in case i break it even more!

Glad ur safe! Awsome job on DIY

[@luckgrip252]

Even if this video was not that much in-depth. It gave me an idea as to what to check and try out on friend's BMW whose passenger side mirror got destroyed and has hanging mirror on wires (did a tempo fix with zip ties without drilling any holes). Will take a look on how that one is built. As per insides, i believe that the inside components were made out of plastic, but i'll look that up when imma work on it. Wishin that all the necessary stuff is made out of metal and i could refurbish it to at least almost new. It's a base model F30 320d xDrive with M-packet interior.

Did you have a “driving assistance support reduced” message come out? And if so, did it go away afterwards?

[@thierryhimself2796]

Thanks, it really helps figuring out how things are setup in there, as I'm planning on doing the Surround View retrofit

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad it helped! Good luck with the retrofit

Ubermensch, the master race.

What happened to the m sport steering wheel?

[@bdawg2320]

do you have a video of taking that whole assembly off?

[@alvarocaravantes4045]

Thanks for the tip!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hope it helps!

[@fhashemi9403]

What else did you used with the vice to bend back the metal bits? It's a very small area. Mine is bent similarly and the folding doesn't stop where it's supposed to. Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

I used a vice and vice grip pliers. A hammer (used carefully) can help too. It takes quite a few attempts to get it fully bent back into place. Best of luck to you!

[@Jdoug305]

how df do you pop the circle out at bottom of mirror

[@L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds]

I miss the e90!! Honestly I miss the e90 JD..👉E9😫

[@JDCarsChannel]

Me too, me too :(

[@iixgamingpimpxii7310]

How do you take out the circle bit underneath the mirror? And can you not take apart the mirror without disturbing the wiring?

[@Jdoug305]

did you figure it out

[@xuexiren123]

We got our right mirror damaged, and the BMW dealership told us that it costs $2300 to replace the unit

[@JDCarsChannel]

Jeez! Very expensive estimate! Were you able to repair using the steps in this video?

[@willwilliam4647]

I'm in the same boat

[@timg7885]

Insurance didn’t cover that? Hmmm

[@JDCarsChannel]

It simply wasn’t worth paying my deductible

[@magdavallarino110]

I just had that happen to me

[@JDCarsChannel]

I hope all is okay

[@zaahirismail9591]

Hope the deer is ok

[@JDCarsChannel]

Deer is ok! 👍🏻
