*WANT* M3 side view mirrors with Ribbon connectors for '05 coupe.

I would like any color M3 side view mirrors with ribbon connectors... I know these have to be hand made, so if anyone made a pair and wishes to part them out or possibly upgraded to something better... I would love to have working M3 mirrors on my Coupe.

I'm currently using a 6 pin connector for my passenger sideview mirror (Car was vandalized and original side view mirror was destroyed, cables ripped, ect.) I'd rather not buy a new mirror just for the motor to put into new M3 mirrors.

If anyone has a set laying around let me know, willing to pay well.

I think you will have a better chance salvaging the m3 mirror and just get the motor with ribbon connector and put back the old mirror back together. Imho

what would people be upgrading to?: lol

agree with elvis. you're probably not going to see that happen. there's like a handful that had it done from a long time ago but that's about it. and i've already seen a couple of those exchange hands already.

check my partout thread...carbon fiber M3 eurodivision mirrors. wet dream for you

Thanks for the info guys... where could I get an extra ribbon connector? Mine is completely torn apart.

Think any junkyards have M3's laying around? I highly doubt it.

Do they have the ribbon connectors? I need these on my '05 330Ci... god damn BMW had to change the connectors for ONE model across two years.

M3 doesnt use ribbon. You will need to look for coupe over '05. What happen to your stock? You can try and swap yours over.

Look for jason at euro division he sell ribbon m3 mirror

He only sells the mirror housing, not the motor and harness.

My stock mirror was vandalized... using a 12 pin in the mean time... but I was able to salvage the motor... just need to repair the wiring. (Was torn in the process of being vandalized.)

Thanks... I will be ordering from Euro Divison.


Did you play WoW by any chance?

if the ribbon was torn, you'll need to buy new ribbons as well. it's not like you can solder that back and it'll work.

What i mean was your stock non m3 mirrors. You can use those motors for the m3 ones since both uses ribbon connectors

^ yea but he only has one side. he'll need to buy another motor and do it that way

The ribbon itself isn't ripped... only the copper wiring after that.





Does it look fixable? I believe it is...


And this is the only piece I need for the swap, correct?

oh that's it. just solder that back together man. it will take me like 5 mins including taping it up with electrical tape lol

Glad it's repairable. Ribbon motors are a biatch to find.


I was so depressed when I came out of the bar and saw my mirror on the floor next to my car.


I'll be rolling with M3 mirrors once Euro Divison finishes the new moldings.
