Default Bmw Mirror Needed

So some jerk decided to steal the passenger side side view mirror from our 2008 bmw X3. Does anyone have any websites that sell bmw parts at a discount? the dealer wants 350 bucks for the mirror alone!

BMW parts are not cheap.. A body colored power heated mirror with reverse tilt feature will not cost you $99.00.. You can order the mirror or any BMW parts here at 20% discount off m.s.r.p Chris http://www.getbmwparts.com/ Good luck.

This isn't as current as 2008 but goes up to 2006 if it hasn't changed

My wife uses this to get the part number before shopping around

Then usually either goes to Pelicanparts or Tischer

I am not sure. The mirror assembly for the 06 & 08 X3's look similar on the outside, but the wiring harness may be different ala the tail lights for the Lexus gs400/gs430.. Your best bet is to order model year specific parts.

Yeah, its the autodimming stuff that makes em expensive. For you guys that need BMW parts, just let me know, get me the last 7 digits of your VIN number and let me know the part you need and Ill get you a good price.

Coulda got you the mirror for 240 plus shipping, but I dont mean ebay shipping, I mean true shipping cost. 5-10 dollars, whatever UPS charges.
