Hello Jeff, are you sure you have to change it? I read from some forum (can't remember which) that there is a battery powering these mirrors and if exhausted can render the auto-dim function useless.

You may want to google this up before parting with your money!

Pm'ed you.

Hi,

Any updates on this? I realised the problem is a different one. I'm facing the problem Jeff is facing too. The liquid inside the mirror is 'drying up'. It is different from a non-active auto-dim mirror where the power supply was the problem.

How much did you pay for a new mirror, 14m3? Part number? Any suggestion here is most appreciated, thank you.

I have a spare unit for my m3, its in oval shape with a red clown nose for S$600. Let me know if you are inteested.

Hi 14m3,

Thanks for your prompt reply. SG$600.00 is a bit steep but I know that's not your fault, Z4 parts are expensive.

Please let me see if I have other options before reverting.

Many thanks again.
