    RE: M3 mirrors

    E36 motor in M3 and standard mirror are the same. I have done this before and cant remember if there is a left and a right. Im 90% sure they are made to be used in both mirrors.

    was also going to say the same but not 100% either.
    Failing that left right shouldn't be a difference.
    That would be just poor design and another factory line for no reason.
    Have you checked if part numbers are the same?

    100% there the same I've changed them before. 3 screws 4 wires

    Just not 100% if there a left and right or they are all one.
