For the last few months the left mirror on my '10 X6M has been randomly moving positions. Sometimes it would point completely to the sky, sometimes to the ground. This would happen when I would fold my mirrors, or when I would turn the car off and come back, or even when driving. I let it happen for a few months to make sure that I was not crazy and that this was a legit problem. I also noticed a very very thin brown line down the mirror as if it were a crack. However if I ran my fingernail across I could not feel the glass to be broken.

I brought my car in last week and was told that the heated mirror mechanism overheated and that the right mirror motor was causing my left one to fail. After enjoying my awesome Dodge Charger loaner car (it reminded me that I am lucky to have a car that doesn't suck on a daily basis) I came back to get my car with a new mirror installed. I was told that I have to come back to replace the right one as well because they are now made to look different. The new mirrors now don't have that small border around the glass and I think that makes them slightly better looking. Best part of the story, to replace ONLY the glass piece in the mirror, not the motor, not the cover, cost $830 (under warranty). Going in next week to get the other one changed.
