I recently broke one of the mirror snap-on bolts -- I have no idea what they're officially called -- and ordered a replacement from the local BMW dealership. This is what they sent me. The brass colored bolt is like the originals. The silver one is the one they sent.
I even went back to the dealership and had the Parts guy double check to make sure he got the right bolt. He confirmed it and just said they must have changed the design. That seems pretty unlikely to me. The silver bolt only has a little divet in the end, so you have to tighten it down with pliers.
Lucky for me, Uni-Go Bill graciously mailed me a spare bolt he had. Thanks again, Bill! (BMWLT people rock! :yeah: )
I'm still curious though: What in the world could the silver bolt be? Do the newer LTs use these after all?
Well, if anyone needs it, I'll keep it around for a while until I forget what it is and toss it.
