Hi
At last I took the 350i for its first MOT (Since I owned it.)
It passed!!!!!!
But amongst a few other advisory items was the Wing mirrors.
YES I am still looking for the early electric mirrors. The ones which fit on the door panel not the pod type!
Please can any one help, I am happy even to take any old damaged ones as I can repair etc.

The original black door face mounted ones from 1983 are electric.Due to design and age most don't work.

Andy, if you have the original mirrors, maybe you can have them repaired so they work again?

Can't be too difficult a job?

Thanks for all your replys.
I have a a few answers to your replys:
Yes its the early type I need.
Yes they were electric.
If I had the correct type I would fix them but one of the previous owners has removed them!
I am happy o take any cast off which don't work etc, as I will have a go at fixing them!
