My Ride: Black/BlacK
I went to IHOP today for breakfast, the place was packed so I parked in the block behind it Between 155th ST and 156 St on 35th ave in Flushing Queens today. When I got back to the car I noticed my side mirrors were folded in (which I did not do) getting closer in the damn mirrors on driver and passenger side were missing!!! Bastard disconnected them! I ended up buying a replacement set from bmw of bayside (cause it was the closest place) for ~600!!!! for damn glass?! I installed them and the driver side works however the passenger side is unresponsive and I noticed one of the wires the black was cut/broken! So anyone think the cut wire is what is causing the mirror from responding to tilt commands? Can I fix it myself or do I have to give more money to the dealer?

Dude! That sucks! Am I reading this correctly that they took only the actual glass, not the housings? And the glass alone was $600 to replace? If so, that seems outrageous! Why don't these damn thieves ever get caught in the act? Sorry, man.

yup only the glass! i cant believe it costs me a little over 600 for the set of driver and passenger side glass! Ive only gotten the driver side to function. The wire on the passenger side (3 wires there for my car) one of them (the black wire) was cut. So I'm assuming thats whats causing the mirror to not be adjustable (like tilting it left right up down in order for me to see)
