Compare BMW 3 Series wing mirror replacement quotes from specialist garages

Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

A broken wing mirror is legally required to be repaired or replaced. It might be possible to carry out a car wing mirror replacement at home, but it's often easier to have a professional do it for you. You could book a mobile wing mirror repair if you'd rather have a mechanic come to your location.

A complete wing mirror unit replacement should take less than half an hour. Delivery of the unit is often the most time-consuming aspect of the job, so it may be quicker to go to a main dealer who already has the part in stock, although this will likely cost more than at an independent garage.

Ultimately, the cost is dependent on the extent of the damage. If you have a smashed wing mirror, you will only need to replace the glass, which is cheaper than replacing the whole wing mirror.
