    I bought one from ebay.com 3 months before and change the front side with chrome one 2 weeks ago. It makes the car special also fits the interior ;)

        By sheer coincidence was reading about these last night when looking for something else.

        Prone to leaking for some....

        Although there's a way to get it repaired by the original supplier of the glass component as per

          Has anyone added a genuine auto dimming rear view mirror to a S50 ?

              They suffer from oil leaks as they age which drips and ruins the dash so I'd rather not fit them ;-)

                I think these just need a power supply so should be able to retro fit as there is power already for the sunroof and alarm? cemalakcal did you do this mod on your S50?
                fully aware of leaking issues on older mirrors so not a issue.

                  the one on the left of first photo, looks like E46 M3 / E39 M5 size/shape one (and it looks like it has a leak already too )

                    Much better size than the non dimming one, part number looks different for the US dimming mirror and the other models (M3/M5) and it does look like it has shat itself
