Will this mirror fit?

[TexasSpartan]

I'm needing a replace mirror lenses for my 2011 E92. The listing below says up to '09 but the mirror looks exactly like my OEM. What's the difference? Connections?

Should be the same mirror for all E9X M3s. I need a pair of these as well, current ones are showing signs of acid rain spots

You can sometimes restore the glass to like-new by using Detailer’s Pro Series High Performance Glass Restorer. All the DP stuff I've tried has been top-quality and the Glass Restorer is really good on mild etchings and hard water spots. This stuff is strong! Worked when other solutions like CLR would not. See AutoGeek.net. It also makes the glass feel smooth/polished like clay-barring does for contaminated paint. Highly recommended...

Be careful, these Ebay mirrors are not specifically ID'd as M3 mirrors, they are simply said to be for 3-series E90, E91 etc. Realoem.com shows different part numbers for the M3 E92 and the non-M E92...

Thanks for the heads up kscarrol. I may try the Detailers Pro stuff first.

It may not be water spots you're seeing but rather the reflective coating failing.

The shape of these ebay mirrors don't look like the M3 mirrors.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try this.

Nah, they aren't failing yet (mercifully). It's definitely acid rain/hard water spots. I've had the car polished twice since I purchased it a few months ago to remove all the water spots and certain tight areas like the mirror glass , trunk lid and portions of the windshield are still showing the acid rain etchings. I'm having the trunk wet sanded for a full correction and the glass gone over one final time this weekend to get everything back to showroom. I think the Lexus dealer I bought the car from parked it near a sprinkler that hit the car daily, then dried. ughhh

You're right they don't. The M3 mirrors look taller and maybe not as wide.
