BMW 51163404636 Mirror Glass Heated Convex Right

Many of the mirror components are separately available from an authorized BMW dealer, including the glass and outside plastic housing. Two types of outside mirrors are available on X3 models: standard mirrors, which are power adjusted and heated, and optional mirrors that offer power adjustment, heating, and power folding. Both versions feature automatic dip, which includes an automatic curb monitor for the passenger side. To activate the passenger side exterior mirror tilt function, move the mirror adjustment switch to the driver's mirror position. When the transmission is placed in reverse, the passenger side mirror tilts downward to help the driver monitor the area directly adjacent to the car during parking, such as curbs. To deactivate this feature, set the mirror adjustment switch to the passenger's mirror position. Mirror functions are controlled by the General Module (GM5 Redesign), which sends mirror movement instructions to the electronics in the mirrors. Potentiometers in the mirror electronics monitor position, while the mirror switch in the driver door module communicates with the GM5RD via the LIN bus.
