I am not sure how bad the damage is but I cannot move either of them using the switch and it is not a switch issue... But I guess the ribbon cable in mine is snapped cause my mirrors did not heat up this past winter...

If the driver's cable is damaged, neither side will work. This I know for sure. :)

I think Peter is talking about the 37° warning chime

Is this just ZHPs or all 330?

Are you talking about the ribbon cable damage affecting both mirrors, or the 37 degree mirror heating?
Ribbon cable damaged on the driver's side affecting both mirrors affects all E46's with ribbon cables. Not all of them have ribbons.

37 degrees affects all E46's that have heated mirrors, which I think in the U.S. should be all of them.

Additionally, many of these seals/bushings/hoses rot from the inside out making visual detection of pending failure impossible.
