Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
I asked about that but unfortunately we can get prosecuted for hurting someone or in case a child touches it. We should set some type of petition to BMW to stop selling bits for mirrors unless the buyer has a genuine chassis number. As BMW are fuelling the thefts due to their obscene prices. The ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Sorry meant epoxy resined the screw heads. Predictive text!.. Might be worth mentioning to all x5 users to be extremely cautious about this.

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
East London/Newham/Ilford Essex. It's just worrying that they are so easily able to steal these parts and thar the police are aware. I've got my Clifford proximity sensor on mine, have epoxy trained the screw heads inside the mirror, so they won't be able to take them off without setting off the ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Just had a call from my brother , telling me how he has spotted 3 local x5's with their door mirrors missing, can't understand for the life of me what the police are doing about this. As I'm sure all this crime is being reported. I spoke with the police last week, they told me that there are gangs ...

Re: Airbag light constantly on since alarm fitted.
To be honest I don't think it was, I just noticed it now. Had the mirrors installed this week from a bm breaker. But ifthe airbag was an issue should have come on then. Do they normally just need resetting?

Airbag light constantly on since alarm fitted.
After having my mirrors stolen, put in a Clifford 650 mk11 alarm, bit unfortunately today my airbag light is showing as constantly being on, have spoken to the Clifford dealer he has told me that he can reset it using a scanner and that it's not a problem. Just wondering how most people get it ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Hi guys I finally got some that were advertised on eBay, I asked the guy his best price , he returned with £450.00 for the set, picked them up from him this morning , he even kindly put them on for me. They are manual folding but that doesn't bother me too much, they actually feel more sturdy than m ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Quality , good response I don't hate my car but it's just frustration of being so close to getting them then failing at the last hurdle. I do not want to sell my car but if I went through insurance my premium would rocket, my excess is 750 as it is, always been a careful driver for the last 24 years ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Another day no mirrors .. I can't believe how mentally exhausting it is just to get a pair of replacement mirrors for standard BMW . It's like they all just disappeared off the face of the earth. I'd love to write to Bm chairman and give him a piece of my mind. If it weren't for the extortionate ...

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Are they simple to disconnect?.. If I can just get a set with the triangle plates it will make life so much easier.

Re: E53 Electric folding side mirrors..STOLEN!..HELP !!!!
Hi Raj Thanks for replying , no worries, I am trying to get hold of the guy but he is not now picking up his phone, which is just my luck. He says he has the head units but not the triangles, my friend who also had his stolen says that you need the the triangle attached as the cable with the plugs ...

[quote=""B1G JV""]So if they don't have the triangles attached where has he got them from? possibly the same way someone got yours? :( You will always be able to feed the wires through, even if it means cutting off plugs and reattaching them at the other side![/quote] Certainly comes across that way ...
