Mirror glas, wide-angle, left 51167174981

[conandrum]

I have a BMW X6 E71 2008.
Recently my left mirror glass cracked slightly and I want to replace it.
My car has "Interior/outside mirror with auto dip (S430A Yes)".
Therefore my guess is that the part number should be 51167174981 and not 51167298157. Right?

51167174981 : Mirror glas, wide-angle, left, For vehicles with Interior/outside mirror with auto dip S430A=Yes


Here is a photo of my cracked mirror, front and back. There are 3 connection areas, where 2 of them seem to be soldered with a wire in between the points. In the last area, top left in photo, there is a flat wire coming out, ending in a socket. This is where a plug connects from the mirror housing.



LH ASPH - probably means Left Hand Aspherical ?
607047 is some code for this mirror but I cannot find it in realoem.com.
(I have also found photos online with mirrors saying 607049 with LH FLAT.)

My issue is that on ebay, when I search for this part number I get all sorts of different rear configurations for this mirror but never one with my configuration.


Most have 2 connection areas, and only some have a set of wires with a similar socket which however are unsoldered.




Has anyone successfully replaced their mirror glass with one of these Chinese variants? How did you solder the wires - to which terminals? And what about the 3rd section which has no pins - does it affect anything?

I hope I can successfully utilize one of these mirrors with some of your help.

Has anyone had any experience with mirror replacement on the E70 or E71?

Yes, many people have had experiences with mirror replacement on the BMW E70 and E71 models. The E70 refers to the second-generation BMW X5, which was produced from 2006 to 2013, while the E71 refers to the first-generation BMW X6, which was produced from 2008 to 2014.

What was the outcome here. I am wondering how to replace the existing auto dimming "auto-dip" mirrors with new aspherical glass/mirrors and wonder the same things.

I see many "amazon offerings" that show 4 wire hook up but probably have to but them to see how the wiring pig tail needs to be wired up.

More importantly, the all usually say heated, but few if any indicate the photochromic dimming is included in the mirror.
