mRd Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi there, So I would like to know more about what types of mirrors were on E46?

Chimp Choker Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 What year motor do you have as there are different wiring configurations dependant on age www.bobsbmw.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Also depends if you have memory seats or not www.bobsbmw.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mRd Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Non memory seats and its feb 2000, M43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 They will be 6 pin most likely Folding M3 mirrors will be 12 pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) If you want power folds on non memory check out the retrofit thread on fanatics. I have m3 powerfolds on mine but as I have memory seats it was plug and play Fold on remote though will require coding. www.bobsbmw.co.uk Edited October 30, 2014 by Chimp Choker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mRd Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 As i needed pasengers side mirror, i got two mirrors non folding but with memory, wiring loom from the doors and memory module. £65 for everything. How do I fit that? As my one's non folding no memory, seats the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's a big job you also need the memory non folding door switch. I'd be looking on the fanatics retrofit. You may also need both the FTM and BTM door modules www.bobsbmw.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimraynn Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 What year motor do you have as there are different wiring configurations dependant on age www.bobsbmw.co.uk Is there any easy way to tell by just looking at the wiring? Mine's a March 2000 coupe with memory. Wanted to change mine at some point but not sure what I'm looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 March 2000 would most likely be loom. Dead easy check though is to take off the black triangle type cover where the bolts for the door mirrors are. You will see the loom or ribbon go into the mirror housing. On the coupe with memory you will need the powerfolds mirrors and powerfold door switch (again though there are different switches depending on if you have memory or not ) All should be plug and play and can be retrofitted in about 1 hour. If you want remote folding though this will need coding. I posted up on here a few years ago with the ncs settings that you need to change, I'll attach the link soon www.bobsbmw.co.uk Nimraynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mRd Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I went to scrap yard yesterday, spent like 5 hours taking out the wiring loom out of 330ci, it was with folding mirrors, electric seats with memory and heated too. So I picked everything up. Now I need like a month to put everything back, because the ammount of wires I have to sort out... I would actually better pay auto electrician to do that.

So it's just a simple case of pop the cover off and look at whether its a ribbon or a set of cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mRd Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Can anyone tell me please, what wires and where to connect if I want to have folging mirrors with memory? Basicly i removed whole wiring loom from another E46 which had folding mirrors with memory and electric heated seats with memory. About the seats I found enough info how to install everything to work, now just need to know if anyone has done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Choker Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Did you get the door mirror modules that sit behind the door cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 You'll also need to change the VO in NCS to add the 2 modules BTN and FTN. These are required as part of the memory function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mRd Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Did you get the door mirror modules that sit behind the door cards Yes I got both of them. Installed both door wiring yesterday with the modules. Plugged in the mirrors into the modules. But they dont work, nothing. Will I need the programing for that?

Chimp Choker Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 The VO or vehicle order will need to be programmed so the car knows that the BTM and FTM modules are fitted. Can be done in NCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
