Rear view mirror part no. 8236779

Hi,
I looking for a rear view mirror for my 2000 B10 V8.
It has to be part number 8236779. What seems to be the common mirror 8236774 fitted to most E39 5 series does not fit.
TIA

This post is over a year old, but:

I found this forum thread during the same google search that you had. I found out that 51169134416 has the same windshield connector and is overall very similar to 8236779 (both have front EC detector not on the mirror glass but rather under it was most notable to me). I found a listing on https://www.ebay.de/itm/363889728256?mk ... olid=10050 for 8236779 itself however it was like €300 because the guy said "its very rare" because it's no longer manufactured.

Finding ...416 itself in used and good condition is rather difficult because people list their usual ...774s (the common mirror you mentioned) as ...416 aswell so you have to look more in depth before buying. The one I found was from an E70 and honestly I couldnt tell the difference between my ...779 and ...416.

Maybe this will help another poor soul in the future, I can't count how many hours I've spent looking for this mirror trying to not pay €700.
