    Need Parts Help Please!

    Hi all,

    I recently had a good size rock introduce itself to the windshield in the X5. On the recommendation of my mechanic, I reached out to his preferred windshield guy. When it was replaced, I lost the auto-wipers and auto-lights feature, both of which I consider important to me.

    The windshield guy is totally a stand-up guy and is going to pay for the part and my mechanic’s time to install the new part. The problem, however, is finding the part. The two of them figured out that the prism (inside the rear view mirror) was damaged somehow, but BMW dealerships in the area will only sell the part as as package that includes a new rearview and the BMW glass.

    All 3 of us have scoured all the places we can think of online to no avail. At this point, I’m willing to buy a new rearview to get the matter addressed. Does anyone here have connections that can get the part for me, or have thoughts on where else to search?

    Thanks in advance,

    Fuz

    Are either of these what you're looking for? Also, what year is your x5?

    Neither of those are it according to the part#. The car is a 2005.

    Just spoke with the glass guy and he’s going to warranty this windshield and put in a new one. If that doesn’t work, he was going to try and buy a whole new rearview unit.
