I remember a thread a few weeks ago regarding someone with stolen mirrors in the New York area... well after browsing through ebay, look what I came across..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-e60-Sid...emZ250294700323
Just an FYI- the seller seems to be in the NY area also.

In NYC this has been a problem for years with Lincoln Town cars and GM and Ford trucks and vans. They stea just the glass. Alot of the owners put a metal frame around the mirror and secure it with rivets. First time I hear of this happening to a high end car, something new to worry about.

They got me sometime between Friday night and Saturday evening right in front of my gate.
I was parked across from a street light. They took both side mirrors(glass only) from my 2008 528xi.
I think this was done by a pro. no scrtach, no damage, no cut wires.
See attached pictures.
I lived in the Bronx in a pretty safe and quite neighbour hood.
Hopefully I can purchase just the glass from the dealer.
It maybe more expensive buying from the dealer but I am going to support these crook by buying
from a local shop or ebay.
Sorry about the dirty pictures. I travel with a digital camera in my glove compartment for moments like this.
