        If you stop looking at it, does it stop shaking?

          don't run solid engine and trans mounts?

          i just use my side mirrors to tell if that blur behind me (in the rear view mirror) in the distance is a cop or not.

          in all seriousness though, is it a regualr mirror or a maplight mirror? the map light has a piece that goes from the arm to the glass itself. if it is missing, it has been known to shake or vibrate.

              It's a map light. Motor and trans mounts are stock

                You need to adjust that little bump stop on the mirror as der affe said.

                        Ive got a map light in my 318is and with the adjuster all the way out it is only just hitting the windshield, so mine still vibrates a little. I'm just gonna put a little stick on stopper type thing to give me that extra few mm I need to make it solid.

                          My regular mirror shakes like a mofo(granted my overhead panel with the rubber bit is out at the moment). Any way to tighten it up?

                            I bought a New Lightened Mirror to fix that problem on my 88' Is.
