Re: White van drivers!
Devon, same thing happened to me back in June.
Exactly same damage too - piece broke off the metal cup thing.
Tried a repair but it didn't last two minutes.
Luckily my mirror isn't flapping about - but I like being able to use the folding function so I am going to fix it properly.
Anyway I found this company in Taiwan:
http://www.hongmei.com.tw/?fit-to-bmw-outside-mirror-parts,17,1
I got in touch - they normally prefer bulk orders but agreed to send individual units. They accept Paypal too.
I'm going to buy a motor and gear set too as my motor sounded ropey and the gears looked well worn.
The fixed mounts sets come with two parts the black top and the silver bottom. They are $98 (US Dollars) including shipping.
They also sell the micro switches.
Only reason I haven't ordered yet is that I'm always a bit wary of foreign companies - but they accept paypal and sent me a proper invoice.
Should I?!

Just remember you will get a nice raping by Customs as well most likely of about 20-odd %.

Will do - I'm hopefully ordering 2 as I never want this happening again (keep one for back up). Just waiting to hear back now.

Your spelling needs improving!
No small tank so £70-75. Only last about 250 miles though which is a bit tiresome. !

No - that was to keep the mods happy and you got the point!
That's same for my wife's 1-Series. Totally cr@p - 2 litre lump that wants no more than 46 litres to fill-up and then give me/us 230 miles. Right PITA.
