51 16 063 Removing and installing/replacing interior rear-view mirror (with Japanese toll mirror)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Work may only be carried out at a room/object temperature of 18... 28 °C.

If this can not be guaranteed (cold/hot countries), it is necessary to equalize the temperature of the windscreen, mirror foot and rear-view mirror (e.g. car left to stand indoors or in the shade for at least 30 minutes).

IMPORTANT: To avoid breaking windscreen: 

Screw rear-view mirror off mirror mount.

Mirror must not be pulled or pressed off towards front or rear.

Press on end caps (1) and at same time pull them apart; this releases clip connection of both caps (1).
