I changed to a self dimming mirror in my 540iT without any problems, the wiring is not in the mirror, but in the wiring harness of the car. I used a mirror from another E34, so if the 750 mirror has the same plug, I can´t see why it should not work.

well ur T is a 95 and ima a 90 so i dont think i have the harness prewired...

How doe sit work? What dims? Is it lit and the bulb dims or is it in the glass?

I just went to an e46 mirror, with no "gain" controls, and a built in alarm led.
best $3.25 I ever spent modding my car.

you should look up in the roof (after removing the sunroof switch plate of course). the plug on a sedan may be white 3 wire, on my touring it was yellow 3 wire.

94+ used the now standard 10 pin connector, since this is from a 93 it should be plug and play also on pre 93.

If not... you really only need ignition and ground. Mine also had the reverse wire to disable the autodimming when reversing, so I used it. Reverse was in the middle as i recall.


good threads on bf.c

I think I even re-listed color codes for those without the plugs who were willing to hard wire... or who needed to puzzle out which was which.

i checked above my sunroof panel and driver vanity light and could not find ANY extra plugs

maybe 90's don't have it. it was hard to find in mine though, had to pull harnesses to make sure they were actually connected to something.
