That’s available in case anyone’s interested. I had it saved on my eBay but ended up buying this from a forum member.

Hope you are correct as returning items to Europe for refund is a bitch.

If you look carefully, you will see the the rear of those pics and the front are of different models.

Photo #1 of the front - no idea what that fits with its rounded corners, pics 2-6 from the rear with a different shape appear to be legit F8x mirrors.

Wonder which set you will get?

Good catch. Hopefully it’s just a mix up of the pictures. Here’s another set from a seller I’ve purchased from in the past:

For other people who are looking on eBay or elsewhere for these, if you want to keep the autodimming feature, make sure you are buying a set that looks like it has a line around the border. Only those mirrors have dimming; I have a set with such features. My mirrors with auto dimming on my Audi s5 look similar.

Just got them from Cars 245. Legit site.

Took 11 working days to ship via DHL. Took an additional 2 days for express shipping from Latvia. Very fast.

Also very easy installation. Have both mirrors set all the way in pointed towards the interior of the car and used my hand to pull off the old mirrors. Use a small screwdriver to unhook the old connectors and reverse the process to reinstall. Took me 5 minutes to install both sides.

Mine just arrived as well, car is being lowered so it is not here for me to install them
Thanks for the quick how/to DIY

I got my mirror glass in the mail today. Everything fits. Took less than 5 minutes total to install. The weather is too warm so I tried to mist the glass to see of the heaters work (they did), but the dimming feature I don't know yet. The change in perspective these offer is a little odd to me right now but I guess I should be able to adjust quickly with time?

Thanks for the help in posting these.

Here are the part numbers from the mirrors that I ordered from cars245 about a year and a half ago. They are the heated and auto-dimming aspheric mirrors

coldsteelrain · 08-01-2018, 07:16 PM

Just got my car back so I was able to finally install the mirrors. It's a 5 min job
Maybe you can see that at the far edge the image bends outwards so you see more of what's next to you
I'll try to take a picture with a car next to mine for a better visual
it's getting dark now so I'll do it tomorrow

Everling · 08-01-2018, 09:08 PM

glad i was able to help some people out!

I also emailed cars245 a few months back and asked about PN's 51168059567 51168059568 and they said they were not dimming. They said the PN's for heated and dimming were 51168065297 (left) and 51168065298 (Right) and that each one costs $364. Either way, I found a set off a Euro seller on eBay and got my heated and dimming set of Euro mirrors.

Finally 51168059567 and 51168059568 have auto dimming feature?

Yup. These are the boxes mine came in.

Because I read the above response, it means that 51168059567 and 51168059568 do not have auto dimming feature?

Only 51168065297 and 51168065298 have auto dimming feature
But these two part numbers are very expensive compared to 567/568

Can order if 51168059567 and 51168059568 are confirmed to have auto dimming feature

All I can tell you is that is the second set I got from IND. The first set they sent did not have dimming and I went back and forth with them a couple of times to get it straight. Second set were both right side even though different part numbers. Possibly due to inspection and repackaging incorrectly. But finally got it right. Moved them from my 2015 to my 2019 and the 2019 did not have dimming connecter for right mirror.

I moved my set from '18 F80 Base to '19 F82 Exec and wondered why there was no dim wire on the passenger side. Glad to see it's normal on a '19.
