Jeff... Just curious... why do you want to remove it? Is it poorly placed or are you talking about removing just during the autoxing? Debbie

How 'bout removing the mirror and storing in the glovebox? Same weight, same area (front) of car. Only a non-Oscar Meyer would protest! Sharon Roberts

Hmm. If it has a latch, and is designed to be removed by the operator, shouldn't it be a legal configuration in which to run the car? Is mention in the owner's manual neccessary for it to be legal, o

Well, since a rear view mirror is not a legally required device if you have two side mirrors, I dont see why it cant be removed because of the safety factor when you remove the mirror itself. A drive

I would argue that if the BMW literature says the mirror can be removed, the car can be run without it in place. For justification, I submit the following portions of 13. Stock category. "Except for

I used to always remove the mirror on my BSP 240Z, which snaps on/off, and stuff it behind the passenger seat just for greater visability. Also "updated" to later model 280Z windshield wipers for th

Check your owners manual. Does it say you can drive the car without the mirror? This is akin to removable seats and roof racks. If the owner's manual says you can remove it and drive it that way on

I don't read it as a weight issue at all. It's clearly a visibility issue, and hence a performance advantage. But the mirror is designed (at least this is how I've heard it) to be easilly removable w
