Thanks! I've installed them on my '97 328is and they work great.
The part number was 51... though.

I know that I've never had heated mirrors on the car, so I was surprized
to find connectors on the mirror with the leads attached. I measured
both mirrors and got 4.5Kohms. All I can guess is that they do this
so the computer won't report a problem with the mirrors. But, if they
go to that trouble why not just use heated mirrors in the first place?
