51 16 060 Removing And Installing/Replacing Interior Rearview Mirror (With Full Foot)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 BMW 760Li, 2004 BMW 760i, 2004 BMW 760Li, and 2003 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Do not snap out the interior rearview mirror towards the rear (windscreen breakage). Do not under any circumstances twist the mirror foot when removing. Twisting the mirror off the mirror mount will damage the rear catch. If the rear catch is damaged, the mirror will be loose when installed and must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove interior mirror (1) towards rear or by twisting (risk of damage).

Snap out interior mirror (1) from mirror mount towards front by striking with ball of thumb and remove.
