I bought a set of M5 mirrors but before i go to install them, i want to make sure they're the right ones. I have an 05 545i US spec so I don't have the auto folding mirrors. The mirrors i have only have one plug. Does this plug control the electronic adjustment? Thats all I really have with my mirrors. Is it going to work out okay? Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thanks,

David

Guys,
I need to know what your M5 function does it have so I can find out way to circuit configuration for your new mirror. Also, post M5 mirror's wire like the one bluedyno posted so I can help you out.

Best Regards,

Fred

I have seen original M5-mirrors with both one, two or tree cables/plugs, I have heard that the new ones with only one cable has a control box inside the mirror.
