2010 X5 35D Right wing mirror and engine cover insulation
Two question to the group
1. How do I determine if the passenger side rear view mirror ia auto dimming or not and what are some of the replacement options. The noise insulating foam under the engine cover turned to dust, couldn't find replacement, short of the whole cover. I was thinking of using fiberglass used in the motorcycle mufflers. Anyone done that or any other suggestions. Thank you for the help. |

The Auto Dimming Mirrors will have a rubberized/plastic trim around the mirror glass itself. If the interior mirror dims automatically then chances are your exterior mirrors are auto dimming.
Are you referring to the black hood insulation/sound barrier or the firewall separator?

Foam Insulation
The foam insulation on my X5 X70 has degraded. Did you find a replacement for the foam? Thanks, George

The regular non-dimming mirror glass does NOT have the thick black band (see 1st pic below). {regular mirror glass} {auto dimming glass - note thick black band around circumference}

Get rid of the foam, it holds moisture and causes issues with injectors getting corroded.
