Another stellar and RELIABLE submission from our German friends XD

Nice repair! These are the best. Quick, easy and saves tons of money. Keep it up. :)

You got to love it when it all works out as planned

Alternatively if you don't want to solder, you could just pop the two metal strip of "clamps" off and just swap the entire assembly to the new glass.

Please Jamie next time try to solder it from the side. The fumes/gases are flowing straight up and you inhale them. Also put on safety glasses because solder can just fly off the wire if it somehow brakes free while you holding it down with a screwdriver. Trust me I got some experience in university from being dumb 😅 Now I almost soldering everyday as an engineer. Nice fix by the way, saved a lot of money for you.

I love solder fumes. Really let's me know my olfactory nerve is still working after Covid.

The passenger side rear view mirror started delaminating on my wife’s E90. Ali Express to the rescue. $30, new mirror glass, all’s good!

I tried to get the m3 mirrors to fold on my E46 touring. No luck. M3 mirror Modules, coding, new switches. Gave them to my friend and worked perfectly on his convertible no mods.

as a E46 M3 owner I already had to get my rearview mirror fixed once. Having this as an option is awesome. Thanks!

My 04 Acura TL has the auto dimming mirror as well as the tilt down side mirror in reverse but you can switch it between drivers side and passenger side and then if you want it off you just put the switch in the center position. Great for backing into parking spaces looking at the lines

Very interesting!!! Always wondered how that feature worked. Thank you bro!!!

You need flux to reuse the old soldering metal.

Using old solder is tricky without flux or rosin.

When you have a nice soldering iron, but no solder to go along with it 🙂

Wanted to do this repair from when great job love this channel

Shortly after acquiring my E46 M3 with this issue, I sent the mirror to a site called Radar Mirror in Texas. He repaired the mirror, probably using a very similar method, for $99.

Use Tree Sap when soldering, it's amazingly helpful

Man I miss my 330ci! Loved that car

Beautiful car! I envy you 😫

I NEED this for the left mirror in my 2003 BMW Z4! They want 300,- $ just for the glas here in Germany.

All good info.

Thanks for watching!

I wonder if I can disable auto tilting mirrors in other cars by switching to the adjustment mode

Hi 👋 👋 From USA!

So a solution for customers is to clean the fluid. As long they don’t mind the loss of the dimmer function.

Yes. That’s a solution too

This is what I did - separated the two halves, then cleaned all the fluid. I have a power rear sunscreen that is permanently up as that is what blocks glare from headlights

@@timothyer2447That one is a fairly simple fix as well. Many times you can just take apart the electric motor and clean it, reassemble, and it will work good as new.

Your solder technique gives me anxiety! But thanks for the info, I will be fixing my m3 this weekend!

Bro I would say the price of solder was so expensive to me, here it barely costs $1 and it's not bad quality 😂

I wander if they make the same replacement for my daughters 325. It started leaking last summer.

Jamie, I have and '04 E46 M3 and have the rectangle version doing the same. Does the repair work on my version and if so what is the link for it. I have been looking to repair mine and this DIY is awesome 👌 Thank you for sharing!

@9:55 I say knife the same way on purpose 🤣

do all e46 have the tilt when in reverse because mine doesn’t tilt even if its in driver position

What if my mirror doesn’t work at all. No tilt in reverse, no auto fold in, and can’t adjust them with the remote. The only thing that works is the heat. Do I need to replace the whole mirror assembly or just like a motor or something? Thanks

$20 for the solder??? Is it made of gold or something?

I thought the mirrors on my m3 were bad lmfao

20 dollar for a electrical solder??

My car didn't have a rear view mirror when I bought it because the mount had detached from the windshield. I bought a mirror that attaches with a suction cup and it cost me $10. Of course it doesn't have any electrical features but I don't care about that

tape for $20??!!! damn! why?

Why just no replace it with normal cheap mirror? 🤔

$20 each for Tape and Solder?? Got stung bad!😬

BMW thinks of everything. That is funny none of the tech that you showed was a BMW tech. That was all parts bin stuff.

Brand new bought 2017 X3 top of the line engine blew valve cover gasket after 5 years. I wonder what other important parts are cheaply done! Not buying another BMW in US! European BWMs are better made.
