I was gonna ask what these are for, so this will allow you to install the mirrors and have them fully function or is there more to it?Quote:

Decided to do the 2 minute ground light DIY fix.
While doing it I thought... hmm, these wires aren't burnt or anything. But proceeded to do it.
Did it, still have a light out warning... What the hell
Got my sister in my car to push the brake. It's a freaking brake light bulb burnt out. I've been driving it like this for well over a month now thinking it was a stupid ground. Ugh.. off to buy a bulb
LULZ...
Your car just trolled you... kinda.
Yup.. got trolled by my car

As an FYI, I got a replacement mirror motor from Tischer for about 180 shipped. They have the hands down best price; it was in the 160's pre-shipping.Quote:

Sent from my Droid Charge 4G on Verizon.
It's finally back in business :jump
I received the correct mirror on Saturday, only to find that the screw holes were not tapped. I was told that this is normal.
I drove down to the BMW dealership today to see if I can get it tapped for me. After talking to about 5 different people, one experienced mechanic said, "Oh yeah, you just take the screw and manhandle it in there. The housing is aluminum, it won't strip the screws."
So, I listened to him, jammed those screws in with a drill, and it worked flawlessly. I guess the screws are self-tapping. Weird.
I noticed a terrible cracking noise every time I opened and closed my door from its maximum travel. I found that a small hinge or something seemed to be loose. It is held in by an external torx, but if you have a matrix socket you can find one that will fit it just fine. I tightened it up, and no more noise. I can only assume that the cold weather loosened up the screw. The car ran a little rough when I first started it, but it had also been sitting for a good 2-3 weeks doing nothing. After taking it for a drive back home, it is just fine.
I'm happy to have my car back :hi
Yay!!! Good for you, Stu! Glad you're back in the coupe.
