BMW E92 (328i, 335i) Coupe Folding Mirror Fix - Here's 4 things to try

Описание: I tried four different strategies to repair the ailing folding mirror mechanism on our 2009 BMW E92 328i Coupe, including:

Option 1 – Resetting the mirror from the driver seat
Option 2 – Cleaning the mirror motor connectors
Option 3 – Freeing up the Alignment Plunger – Drilling required
Option 4 – Removing, disassembling, rebuilding and reinstalling the mirror

Note, this car is a 2009. The E92 was made from 2006 to 2013 and some things changed along the way. Much of this will apply, but if you run into something that seems off, it may be because your car is of a slightly different vintage.

These are some items that I mentioned during the video. You can source them at Amazon should you be inclined. I will earn a very small amount if you use these links and it won’t cost you extra:

Security Torx Bits- https://amzn.to/4id3via (this is exactly what I have)
Security Torx Impact Bits - https://amzn.to/3XoZ6AM
M12x1.75 Hollow Bolt - https://amzn.to/4imHY6B (I’d get the two pack so you have an extra and it has an extra nut to lock two nuts together)
