Stan 24v Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I've seen on here somewhere that someone has some E9x mirrors. Anyone know who, or gave a DIY? Cheers Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 See Blairs build topic for pics and some explanation of how he did it IIRC he used E46 motors etc in the E90 mirrors Blair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 did colussuss do this too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'll let the pics do the talking... That's an E46 motor mounted into the E90 housing I haven't been able to get 12pin motors so had to get creative.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 24v Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Cheers mate, looks really good. Is that the E90 baseplate? Looks like a god fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike k Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Slightly off topic, sorry, but do you have to remove the door card to unscrew the mirror? My drivers side is slightly out of line mounted on the door and i want to undo then re-tighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What you can't see in the pics is the big gap between base plate and door seal, shocking workmanship! ! ;-) Blair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you do as there are 3 bolts (which hold the mirror on) behind the top bit of the interior trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of a reupload or relink of these photos so I can see your work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
