X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

Question Any UK X5 drivers here? Need parts help.

I was wondering if the driver and passenger side mirrors on the UK market were specifically for RHD cars? Our X5 came with mirrors for a LHD car, talk about a massive blindspot!

Any help would be appreciated.

Geez, I wish I could help, but I have no clue and so far I don't think we have any UK x5 members

Your best guess maybe to go look for a UK dealer online or to call your local dealer and see what they can do.

Sorry I can't help you much. Good luck

Thanks for trying to help Preppy. The local dealer has no idea what I'm going on about when I ask for RHD drive mirrors, figures considering the way people drive around here. Anyway, I'll keep looking, cheers!

The mirrors for the r/h drive models are angled differently than the l/h drive models ........on the r/h drive model the l/h mirror has a more acute angle to the side of the vehicle
