    Does the e36 mirror glass interchange with the e30?

    I need to know if I can take mirror glass from an e36 and put it into an e30's mirror housing easily. Anybody ever tried this?

    Edit: Never mind they don't

    Are you talking about the side mirrors?

    The short answer is no. E30, E36 (non-M3) and E46 (non-M3) side mirrors are all the same shape, but they mount differently. The E36 and E46 mirrors snap in, whereas the E30 mirrors use a ring-type mount.

          I think you can use seven or five series glass

            You can used any type of mirror glass as long as it has been federalized.
