E46 Coupe wing mirror

[whitechief]

Evening,

Some st broke off the drivers side wing mirror of my 323 coupe the other night. I need the housing (not painted cover as that is intact) and the glass. I have tried Eurocarparts and the housing is £114 and the glass is £67 .
As the car is getting on now, can anyone recommend a good secondhand parts company that specialise in Beemers? I have had a look on ebay but they were all for saloons or passenger side.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

you could try a company called find a part, they are in the yellow pages, they will put a request out to all the breakers who will ring you if they have the part. there is another company on the net called 247 google them, same principle good luck

There are always plenty on Fleabay, or try BMBitz in Canvey Island.

You say the painted cover is ok, check the 4 little lugs, they use a zip clip type fitting, and if the teeth are stripped will need glueing on.

I have tried them before, unfortunately I got responses offering me completely wrong parts.

The clips are all fine
