E46 M3 mirror leak

Recommended Posts

Feck....the heat exploded my M3 mirror and it leaked crap all over my centre console trim and ate the paint. I'm in England next week so have ordered replacements. Does anyone know if it does this more than once and whether I now need to replace the mirror?

Pull mirror off and drain and reinstall. You’ll lose autodim function but meh.

 

it’ll leak till all the chemical inside has completely gone.

I got a new dimming glass from "MirrorJohn" in the UK http://www.mirrorjohn.com/

$200 landed I think.

Bit of soldering required but PoP.
