Updated from previous post. Had misinformation in Subject line.

Auto body guy took mirror off to freshen up paint and ripped ribbon in two. I can not find this 2 connector side mirror to save my life.
Anyone know if I have something special? I have read references to the M3 using a 2 connectors, but can’t find a replacement part.
The ribbon is cut right at the point where it goes into the motor “case”. So, no splicing.
This is a heated mirror; if that makes a difference.
Inside the door, coming out of the mirror housing is this...

Could it be something like number 6 in this link?

I found an actual pic on ECS. Its not the same.

Mine is the ribbon.

But thanks for the link.

... I believe the harness I am looking for is “67138379009” but it is discontinued.
JohnJMurray, Thanks for posting the above as it forced me to look at OEM parts.
Sadly, 67138379009, does not have any pics online.

I am thinking about taking it apart and see if I can replace the ribbon with wire. Prioritizing projects. :/

Found it - 51167153133.
Not paying $500+ for a mirror. Now to figure something else out.

it is you and it isn’t you...
That picture is only to represent the end connectors and the other two models have a 12 or 6 pin end.

This is the issue I started out with.

Late cars had the ribbon cable, Early cars had normal wires. They are not interchangable. The ribbon cables are prone to failure. You need a mirror off a 2004-2006 E46 Coupe.
