    M3 Side Mirror Wiring Harness

    Anyone know if the wiring harness inside the M3 side mirror is the same as the non-M ones or if anyone sells the harness for these?

    BMW only has the mirror housing as a complete unit.

    Motor and heated glass spades are all the same, so the harnass must be identical.

    There are at least two different spade types for the heated glass, one big/small and one small/small ground/power. I don't know if this is an M vs non-M difference or just a rolling production change. All the motors I have seen have been identical with the same spades.

    Looks like I'm either going to have to pull some junkyard ones or just make new harnesses.

    I only every took the glass off M mirrors. On both my cars the glass had a big and small spade connector. Seems logic to me, so I could only assume it works like that for all mirrors. Then again there are so many...
