skipping right mirror
Has anyone attempted to lube/grease the right side mirror mechanism? Mine is hesitating when I have the X5 in reverse.

As an alternative to a new motor...reach out to member: mrbmwx5. I believe he has a DIY fix.

before rushing out to replace the mirror motor, try silicone spray

Thanks for advice guys. I'll try silicone first. X5 out of warranty so I'm sure it will be pricey at stealers to replace motor.
