So I cracked passenger side mirror glass while I was clipping it out during mirror cap replacement. Proceeded to do drivers side without issues.
Anyhow, anyone knowledgeable about BMW parts could point me to passenger side glass replacement part number.
Much appreciated.

For posterity, here is the part that was the correct replacement for passenger side mirror glass with heating and blind spot.

51-16-9-492-762

Would you happen to know the part numbers for the Euro spec aspherical mirrors with glass heating and blind spot monitoring?

IND has them for $900+ but I feel they can be found for much less

Sorry, I don’t. I might look into it. I was surprised it only cost me $150 for this. Hard to imagine the euro set would be more than maybe $400-500.

That would be neat if you find them, also what tips do you have for when changing mirror caps to not crack the glass?

I just popped mine off again moments ago to reseat my mirror cap and I simply used a micro fiber towel to spread even pressure across the front of the mirror and a large trim tool to apply constant but firm pressure from behind. I first lowered it all the way down and out away from the car and worked behind the side closest to the car.

Is it worth paying the premium for mp mirror caps over after market ones?

For a cosmetic part, I'll always look for cheaper aftermarket. For a real mechanical/functional components, I'll look harder at BMW stuff.
