Good start to Christmas, passenger wing mirror just got clipped and the glass has broken so I need replacement glass.

My question is if the passenger side mirror is dimmable or only the drivers.

I thought it was dimmable but reading around it seems BMW changed to 'ant-dazzle' from dimmable and only the drivers side now dims - what I don't know is when they did this and if it affects my year and model. It makes a huge difference on the price to replace if dimmable is not needed.

If anyone can shed from light that would be great.

Thanks

Dont know the answer for your model but the 1/2 series switched to single dimming mirror in about 2016, so I would expect yours would have one based on that. If it doesnt bother you and its a lot cheaper can't you just fit a non dimming version?
