Haitoman 110 Report post Posted February 24, 2018 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?

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted February 24, 2018 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
