Auto Dimming Side Mirrors Replacement Options

M3Enthusiast · 11-05-2020, 11:03 AM

Recently purchased a 2011 E92 M3 and both side mirrors seem to be faulty as they have a light brown discolored tint to them. Just curious as to what our replacement options are. I know the euro wider viewing angle version are popular replacements due to better blind spot coverage but the pair of these mirrors is over $500 purchased new. The non auto dimming versions are about 1/3 the price and just curious for those that don't care about auto dimming, if this is an option to save some $$ but would any fault codes result if you install non-auto dimming side mirrors on a car factory equipped with auto dimming ones?

My passenger side mirror is also brown and ugly. Been looking to replace it, but the cost for what it is makes me keep deferring it.
