2003 E320 Driver's side replacement mirror

I have a 2003 E320. I started to notice that my drivers side view mirror seems havzy with drip like marks in it. Bottom line is that I'll have to replace it. Does anyone know where I can go (besides the dealer) to have the heated mirror replaced? I live in Toronto.

I would check ebay for a used mirror. They're quite expensive brand new.

Resurrecting an old thread here. Could anybody confirm that the proper part # for an auto-dim, heated left hand mirror for a 2004 S211 is A2038100121?

Thanks for the quick response. Interesting that the part number you have shown differs from all the ebay listings indicating that the part with the 203 prefix will also work on 211s.

I will follow your sage advice. Thanks again.

EDIT: I wonder if what I'm looking at on ebay are the European aspheric mirrors versus the North American version you've indicated.

The Euro ones can be found for a heck of a lot less on ebay than the North American spec, although the Euro ones are inevitably from Latvia and other such Eastern Euro countries. I can't tell if they're knock offs or perhaps they're made there in the first place as OEM product.

Just bought a pair (glass with backing plate) 04-e320 w211 from the ebay dealer in Latvia ya mentioned. Not oem but they are perfect and brand new. Heated but not auto dimming. $22 bucks apiece cant beat that. The same dealer can find almost anything ya need just send your vin. So far I trust this guy. Hope helps.

I messed up about that ebay dealer am sorry. Check my post on this. Joe fixed my question. Not sure if yours is the same but Joe knew right away what the part numbers are for OEM. 04-e320 sedan. 03 not sure.
Took one off today looks like this.

Thanks for the info.

The yellowing/bronzing is what happens when the auto-dim properties of the mirror begin to fail. That's exactly what I'm trying to replace in my car. Be sure you don't buy one of those.

Hi again, Konigstiger. A quick question for you. The attachment you provided with the 521 part # suffix only said auto-dim, and doesn't mention heated.

The reason I ask is that I see a part number with A2118100321 on ebay which is claimed to be both auto-dim and heated.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Mercedes-E-cl...3D222130490275

Any clarity you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to make sure I'm purchasing the proper item.

Thanks!
