M3 Power Folding Mirrors question

[wildm333]

Has anyone tried to swap power folding mirror internals from non-m coupe mirrors to m3 mirrors? I know you can swap m3 internals between each other fairly simple but wanted to see if anyones done the former

[Mr.wReckless]

Could it be possible to cross reference part numbers to see if they use the same parts?

Regards

This post made me curious and I found previous threads on this. A guy on YouTube even made a tutorial for it using oem parts as this was an option for individual optioning. Just need to disassemble the housing and insert the proper motor and connect it with new mirror switch that will have an extra button for folding, pretty cool, kinda extensive process though and motor isn’t cheap.

Mirrors into Power-Folding Mirrors

You can use the motors from the eBay M5-style (for 98-03 E46 2D Coupe) to transplant into the OE M3 side mirrors. The wiring is short and you will have to lengthen them but otherwise they will work fine.
