Power Folding Mirror Install | BMW e46

- This video is about installing memory power folding mirrors on a 2002 BMW e46 330ci. I recommend trying to source these parts used from sites such as eBay. Remember to get the right mirrors for your car either LHD or RHD. THESE PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. My car originally came with 9 wire 12 pin connectors for the mirrors and now the new power folding ones have 11 wires 12 pin. Make sure you get the 11 wire 12 pin ones if you have memory and power seats.

the key to removing the actual mirror is to adjust it to highest position and pry it from the bottom
It’s truly amazing that you could afford these! These are fortunes here in England man!
Gentle action, never pull forcefully. Remember some panels need to be pulled upwards rather than out. If you need to force it, you’re probably doing it wrong.
Put a little silicon where the tabs for the cap go into the mirror or else your gonna loose a mirror cap
my 2001 330i came with folding mirrors from factory, so im shocked it was not an option for u
Looks awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My £1000 e46 coupe going to end up costing £10000 !!! If I knew what I know now! I don’t think I’d change my mind 😂
love your videos bro .. just keep going 👌💪
That mod came pre-installed on my 320D:-)
Yes on euro calls
Love the channel! I'm buying a 2004 E46 330i for my first car the avarage price is $6k Australian. How is the reliability?
The car is pretty reliable if you do all the maintenance needed. Cooling system is the weak part of the car.
@@EvanGoyuk cheers
Congratulations
Could you maybe make another video showing us how you code them to fold with your key when you lock/unlock your car?
Yes I will be making a video especially because no one online shows how to code this on a preface lift e46
Mate alot info on the web how to code them!
Evan Goyuk pre or post it’s the same thing. Ncs expert and your done.
Actually you have to code the actual memory motors not the gm5. Every guide tells you what you need to code is in the gm5 but it’s not
@@EvanGoyuk The memory motors ( module ) or the folding module ? Do you have the white folding module in your car ?
Why didnt you just roll your windows down when installing would of been much easier cos yours are frameless
your door panels look different then mine, im from australia
Do you have a coupe?
So I need 9 pin or 11 pin Mirrors? I have memory seats and memory Mirrors that are non power folding. It’s kinda confusing
I really liked your video. But I do wish you would've show us how much $$ you paid for it? By clicking on the link did not show us the Actually Part or the Price. That link only took us to the place (ECS Tuning) you got it?
So I paid around 350 dollar for everything used from eBay
My e46 has Memory mirrors but they don't fold up like your`s in the Thumbnail. How did you do that?
Only the coupe fold up like that I believe the sedans just fold in
@@EvanGoyuk oh okay so There no way to get to work with carly? (E46 Touring)
I believe if you have the post facelift Carly will work. Their website says it supports comfort closing mirrors.
@@EvanGoyuk ok thank you for your help . Gonna buy my next e46 this weekend (318i)
Just curious, why didn't you go with auto dimming mirrors? I have them now, but my drivers side door mirror failed blacked out, and the previous owner glued a much smaller piece of glass over it. Seems you can't change just the glass if you have auto dimming mirrors. I'm thinking of getting exactly what you got in this video, but I'm just curious, since you mentioned before you want every option, why did you skip the auto dimming feature?
Very good point I didn’t realize my glass did not auto dim
Hello want ask because my car is e46 330d touring 2005 manual and i dont have power/memory seats and would i need to buy those modules and how does it work when you dont have power seats
Hello, after I changed my mirror control to the power folding one, only the right mirror folds but the left one makes a sound like its folding but doesn’t fold. Do you know what might be wrong?
I only wanted to see how the mirror plate was attached, looked like it was a struggle, then it was magically on. I’m not a magician tho.
It was bit of a struggle you need to pry from behind to release finger like clips
Evan Goyuk Thank you! Just got them in today. Preciate the help!
Excellent!
Where does that white connector on the control module connect to? Is it just power and where does it go?
Im asking because ever since I had my car the mirrors haven’t been working and then I checked the inside of the door and I have no module at all and I can’t see the cable with that white connector?! Cant find anything online describing what it is.
That goes to the GM5
Why you dont put the link of were you buy it?
Because I bought them from eBay and most people are going to need different part numbers
How do you tell if your car is setup for these? I have a 1999 model. Last time I had the door panel off I don't recall seeing a box like that to plug them into. I do have memory and I think also heated mirrors.
If you have memory seats then you should have modules in the door
@@EvanGoyuk yes I do. Thanks. I'll check into this more.
Did you need to change the memory modules or nah?
so if your car has memmory seats and does not have power folding you dont need to change your doors wire harness?
Just would like to ask if I need to replaced the whole mirror assembly including modules or just the power folding switch ? Mine is 2004 318i facelifted Msport. N42B20 engine. Power side mirror manual folding with power memory seats. Thank you.
Include the modules
What if I dont have memory power seats?
You would have to power new modules
My e46 coupe doesnt have the module and i can't figure out how to fit an e46 power folding mirrors. I can't find any diy. Any ideea?
by any chance did you write down what the part numbers for the mirrors ..good tutorial on R&R mirrors
I have the controller in the cabin to control the mirrors but I don’t think I can flip the whole thing all the way up like that ..I do have memory seats though. Will it still be the 11 12?
I know most cars after a certain speed they automatically open, did this work for you?
Hmm I have not tried this yet. I will try it out and let you know.
If he didn’t code the car after install that would be set to not active. So it shouldn’t work.
You don’t need to code the car to use the physical folding button
Greetings I would like you to share a link of that set of rear view mirrors as you show I want to adapt it to an e46 sedan LHD
Did you find them?
Could we get a link to whete you got mirrors from
I bought them used on eBay so I do not have a link. But my link in the description has all the part numbers.
Evan Goyuk from which year are the folding mirrors?
Not sure but before 2004
Does all the bmw e46 support it if it don't have the electric folding mirrors originally ? It just needs the folding mirrors, and the new interruptor, all the cables are inside the doors ?
Yes, if you have memory and electric seats this is an easy upgrade you just need the new power folding mirrors and the new switch. See link in the description if explains how you can upgrade no matter what your car is equipped with now
@@EvanGoyuk And if I don't have the electric and memory seats, is it possible ?
Yes I believe so read more about in the link in the description it goes over all the different configurations.
What site do they sell the power folding mirrors I have a 2000 E46 323CI I checked ecstuning they don’t have it neither does fcpeuro
Hello i have 46 coupe 2001 memory seats but not electric and my wires for mirrors are 5 pin can I buy folder mirrors and the switch?
hey nice video thanks! i would like to ask if this can fit a 320d 2003, thanks!
Does your car have memory seats? Or is that not necessary for the mirrors to work ??
My car was memory seats. It’s not necessary but you need a different switch and mirrors
I found mirrors from the facelift coupe. Are they synonymous to my 2001 E46 convertible?
It’s needs to have the same connector I believe the facelift coupe ones have a different connector. Look at my link in the description for more info
Do you know if the Australian market has them? What package? TIA
I’m not sure about that
I've got memory seats but no module's. I've ordered modules so will this be plug and play now? UK model
Should be
@@EvanGoyuk I'm gonna try this let you know. Hope it works thanks for the reply
Didn't work not as simple as your video. You have to make sure you have the correct modules and folding mirrors. They are not plug and play like youve said
Hi, how many Wires does your power folding mirror have? thanks
9 wires that go into a 12 pin connector
Is it plug and play do I need to code something
It is plug and play but you can code it for your key to close the mirrors
Evan Goyuk how?
Ncs expert I have a video on it
Evan Goyuk I’ve got a car with manual seats and no memory. Would power fold mirrors be plug and play or would I need additional wiring or modules?
Require modules
Hi mate, does 7wires folding mirror works on my 330ci coupe? many thanks
What year? And what are you options on the car like memory seats? Electric seats?
Evan Goyuk thabks for reply, i have electric memory seat and it is 2003 m. i have a blue bottom switch but i already bought the brown switch and tried the 7 wire folding mirror and the switch still didnt work. im i missing something to make it work? thanks
You need 9 wires for PF
Evan Goyuk thanks mate and is it gonna be plug and play for 9 wires?
What programmer are you using. I need one for mines
Hello nice video, i have folding mirrors on my 2001 e46 but after a battery change in the key they wont fold anymore when i remote lock my car, i read in many places on the internet that they need to be recoded but nobody explained that how to do that, i programmed my key everything works but mirrors and windows also dont come up down on key anymore.... How to code that? Thanks
Hi, how do you did it have you bought a folding mirrors? I have 2001 e46 330ci memory seats and manual mirrors I want chance for power folding, can you help please?
Yes I bought power folding mirrors, check the link in the description for more information.
Thanks mate
Where can I get these wing mirrors?
hello where can i buy this mirror?
What's your instagram
How much does it all cost?
I believe it was a little under $300 USD. I bought the items from the UK so it was in pounds but I got everything from one person so it was a good deal.
I think ill just buy a new car after all that.
