ASPHERICAL MIRROR (Euro)

[z168]

Threada resurrected! Having getting used to driving with these, i quickly realized how big a blindspot the X has so i had to quickly get a pair.

My question is how do i pop off the mirrors? Do they just pop off or do i need to disassemble the mirror assy?

Yes, pics from the OP showing the e53 aspheric side view mirrors installed would have been nice. It's never too late...perhaps someone will dig this post up in the future to add pics from an e53...until then I guess the pics posted of the e39 M5 will have to make due...

Just an FYI for those searching for this info that may come across this thread in the future.

Thank you Qsilver7. I got a pair of replacement mirrors too (non dip but blue tinted) but had a problem installing. Pictured below is new mirror on top, stock on bottom. I'm thinking the stock mirror is still connected to the mount plate and that needs to be pried off and put on the new one to then just snap it in? Can clearly see the "cup" on the stock and where it plugs in on the housing. Thought I'd ask before breaking it I mean, trying to swap over.
