Anyone know the part number for E90 LCI euro aspherical mirror for the driver's side (LHD)? I tried searching but only found the pre-lci ones.

I need them to be heated and auto-dimming. Can't find on real oem.

Remove the painted mirror cover, the part number for yours should be on there.

I'm not looking for the US spec flat mirrors. I want the euro aspherical ones.

I think he's looking to retrofit that glass to his Canadian model.
Yes, these will be tough to find as it seems auto-dimming was not very commonly optioned in Europe.

OK, this wasn't too hard, actually.... here you go: 51167158309

Does anyone know if that black rubber piece that surrounds the mirror is a separate part?

This is what is currently on the car.




However the eBay euro ones just have the glass and no rubber surrounding:

No, the rubber surrounding the edge of the glass is not a separate part. It seems sometime on E90 LCI, BMW decided not to have it.

I don't quite understand. Do you mean that they stopped making the rubber surrounding? It would be weird if I change it to the euro glass without it; it won't match the passenger side mirror.

The plastic-ringed glass was used on early LCI models (2009-2010, I believe), then they switched to auto-dimming glass without surround for 2011-2012.

Yes, it seemed that they stopped having the rubber. My late 2010 328i came without the rubber part. I only had heated mirrors.

When I did a retrofit for folding mirrors, it came with the passenger side glass that had auto-dimming and heated.

But the driver side glass was missing. However, when I wanted to find a driver side glass I noticed the passenger side had this rubber edge, so I had to find one with the rubber part.

The picture of the mirror is from my car. It's a MY2011 which has auto-dimming and heated function which has the rubber surrounding.

Interesting. So, it must be only MY2012 thing.
Take a look at those.
