Help finding M3 Style Side mirrors

[bmwracerchick]

Ok I have done a search and nothing really answered my questions so im just gonna ask. I am looking for M3 Style Side mirrors for my ti. 1st question, would I need 2 door or 4 door? Second where can I buy them from at a good price? Lastly does anyone have pictures they would like to show of their mirrors plus where they purchased them from? Thanks in advance guys!

[bmwracerchick]

And now, the price you must pay for all my hard work is that you must visit this web site (http://www.jimmy540i.com/bmwnightmare.htm). You'll cry... maybe from sadness, maybe from laughing your ass off... but you WILL cry. LOL

ebay are actually pretty good apparently from some sellers.....

[bmwracerchick]

Thanks Roadrash. I tried ebay but all they have are those after markets with the goofy lights and it doesnt say if they are power. I have one more question......Some mirrors are heated, but if I dont have heated will it matter? All it would be is a wire but I just want to make sure.

Well, I don't know the actual answer to that, but... if you're in FL... aren't heated mirrors pretty much a non-issue? ;-)

Well not really because it does get fogged up, so the heat probably helps reduce that. I dont care about the heat but all the mirrors say heated I just dont want that to be and issue with a car that isnt set up for heated mirrors

[pdxmotorhead]

The highest percentage of TI's have heated mirrors. In my mahual it looks like
all 95's with active and up packages did anyway...

I think if your mirrirs are electrically adjustable they are likely heated.

YMMV

Wow those do look good. Are they like these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93-94-98-BMW-E36-4D-4DR-M3-MIRROR-MIRRORS-AMBER-BLUE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33649QQitemZ7991007851QQrdZ1 and are they electric because im not seeing where it says they are electric.

[nick_hegel]

I'm guessing for the price they aren't electric/heated. That wasn't important to me seeing as how I never really need to adjust the mirrors. No one else drives my car. If you are looking for those options look to spend a bit more.

[bmwracerchick]

I dunno $10.99 seems way to cheap for side mirrors....what do you think guys should I trust those that i found on ebay or stick with the real OEM stuff?

[Platanos]

The worst case is your out 20sum dollars if they're not good. Not a big deal imo. But I wouldn't get your hopes up thinking they will last forever. Why don't you be the ginnie piggie and buy them and let us know what the dealie is :tongue:

If I do ill let ya know and post pictures. I just dont really want the turn signals on them....I dont really need that, but for that much why not...
