Please identify this part

I found this small part that appeared to be falling out of the driver’s wing mirror of my M3. It was just resting at the bottom glass and I removed it easily. I tested the controls of the mirror and everything appears to work normally…any clue?

Part of the flux capacitor? Just kidding. Looks like some sort of a spring release thing. You should ask service.

It’s the spring that helps with keeping the mirror’s motion smooth when being adjusted. Basically keeps constant pressure on the assembly so it doesn’t chatter or vibrate. At least that’s what I think it does lol.

It should pop right back in place. Maybe throw some epoxy on it for good measure.

BTW- the mirror just pops right out of its holder easy peasy.

That looks like it! Thanks, I will get the mirror serviced
