Anyone have an extra 328 mirror switch or know where I can get mine repaired?

Yes, maybe they did, that's why I ask why do some people limit their search to BMW,

why not try and search other manufacturers? I know it's time consuming but it might be

worth the effort.

 

I could save you the time and hassle of ebay.

Let me know if it's working and what you were hoping to get for it. I think the last one on ebay went for something like $375.....

 

Can't blame you...I had to try. They fetch a pretty penny and good luck!

 

Looks like my E30 3 series BMW electric mirror switch, loads on ebay for peanuts.

 

+1

One of the BMW switches came with my car as an extra...not even close.

 

Well, at a bare minimum...I'll help your bidding along. Good luck.

Hello France! I hope I can help you.

I was able to fix my mirror switch about a year ago. I forgot how it all went together, so I just pulled it out of the car and took it apart. Oh, now I remember! Here is a picture to help...

**** Be careful! Tiny parts will shoot all over the place if you're not super super super careful!!!!!

So, there are two parts to this switch. The smaller black plastic knob is used to control which mirror (left or right) will be adjusted. The bigger black plastic knob adjusts the direction of each mirror .

Once the switch is opened:
There should be a small spring and a ball in each hole# 1,2,3,4,5,6. Hole # 10, 11 are empty.
There is a bigger spring in #7. #8 goes on top of spring #7. It is important to have #8 going the correct direction. The top of the spring should contact #8 right where I have drawn the red line. You can see how this contact will move side to side to connect right or left circuitry on the circuit board.
****Tip: It's tricky to keep the little ball in place on top of the spring while trying to hold #8 on the bigger spring and then slip the circuit board back in place. Put a small bit of vaseline on top of each small spring to hold the balls in place (vaseline or heavy paraffin oil actually also helps to improve sliding contact resistance consistency). The vaseline will be just the trick to keeping that little ball on the small springs while you carefully hold #8 in place and put the circuit board back on.


You need 6 little metal balls that sit on 6 little metal springs.

Best of luck with repairing this unobtanium part!

 

When i first got my car, I adjusted the mirrors to me and havent had to use the switch since, who knows, mabe the next time i use it it will break. Don't think i will tempt fate. One of those places that parts out ferraris have any??

How's that for a forecast.

Hmmmm....well, I almost had it. Butter fingers here couldn't click fast enough at the end.

 

I won the auction. Looking forward to getting the switch!

 

danman...

at least it went to another f-chatter. That was me on the other end of the bidding duel.

Congratulations and enjoy

 

YOU GOT ME AT FIRST!!! Thanks again....glad it stayed in the fchat family. Still kills me the price I have to pay for a mirror switch! But, that's Ferrari for ya.

 

Hi all,

I would buy for a broken switch mirror if anybody would sell his...
Would you have a picture of the switch mirror plugged ? I would like to see how is it plugged as i am not sure to reinstall it correctly.

Best regards.

I'm going to be selling my broken switch if you're interested....well it worked 2 weeks ago, so it must be fixable!

 

danman, let me know the details..I might be interested.
