I plan on using a BMW rear view mirror for my project. I remember reading the various threads about it in the past.

I don't see the add of the Ebay supplier on these. I believe Dr. Evil had stopped making those and Lotus 65 was taking over but it seem Lotus hasn't been active since 2020. sad.gif

Anyone has any info on this? beerchug.gif

Please provide links!

Ninja is intrigued...

Would that be the auto darkening mirror like the M5?

Those critters can be 1K new from BMW!

Here is one. The idea is to take an 80's E30 rear view mirror, modify it, and mount it where the sun visors center mount goes. The sun visors are then pinned in the rear view mirror arm. Prevents from having the rear view mirror bonded to the windshield.

Also, if you have more budget, you can find the $250-300 E30 rear view mirror with the integrated MAP lights (look them up on Ebay).

Dr Evil used to make those waaaaayyyyyy back in the day. I still kick myself for never buying one. He used a BMW mirror I think.

Yup; great mirror. Got one when the Dr was making them.
