Mine is outwardly fine- rubber intact. I'll wait for some better weather to address, as my x5 lives outdoors.

Mine: rubber held the water in. So “rubber looks fine” can easily be the problem. You can’t see it under normal circumstances. I just removed the rubber and never had another problem with it.

I should have been clearer- Not confident in shipping from overseas- nothing to do with the supplier.

They used DHL so secure shipping. Wasn't cheap but i got a pair of $1000 mirrors for $300 incl shipping. Def worth considering. Not sure how PayPal works other than usa but buyer protection is pretty solid here I USA

I'll pull the liftgate handle tomorrow, see if I can repair the switch and the lights- They don't work now, nothing to lose.

I have owned my X5 for about 9 years now, really nothing else out there I would choose to replace it with. Just did front struts, expansion tank and rad hoses, new spark plugs. 230k and still looks and drives great.
