Anti dazzle wing mirrors

kmuk2005 · 12-01-2018, 03:54 AM

Random question: noticed last night that I only have anti dazzle glass on the drivers side wing mirror. What do you guys have? Am I right in assuming it should be passenger side too?

Some regions have it on both some only on the drivers side.

Mine has both (and I don't even have the exec package)

I only have driver side

Both are anti dazzle on my UK car.

Strange, I only have it on the driver side of mine (UK car here)...

BMW eliminated the dimming feature from the passenger side mirrors for ALL M2s, you know, for weight reduction

But the regular models wasn't affected until MY 2017 and above..

Throughout the years, BMW have been slowly decontented features in the name of cost cutting; remember the "Oh Shit handles" - gone for all coupes.. Still on sedans..

Omg I wish that handle was in my car

Confirmed, anti dazzle only on drivers mirror in the US

US spec here, only drivers side anti-dazzle...

Is there an aftermarket solution? Or can I get an anti-dazzle passenger from BMW?

You can use parts from the 2014-16 F22 and then tap into the rear-view mirror for a power source but the glass itself cost like $400.

I don't think it's worth it IMO.

But it could be done with $ and elbow grease..

Part number: 51167285010

Oh so it's not just replacing the glass.....hmm. I thought it was just a film but that would be too easy, huh

It's made out of Electrochromic glass technology. Expensive stuff..

They offer it on the Roll Royce as a $9,000 option for the the sunroof and it looks so freaking amazing!

I wish I could of afford to do my whole house windows with this glass, as the technology is now available for homes, retail.

Now you probably understand why BMW decontented it on the passenger-side mirror, of their lower-end models..
