    My 2008 R56S doesn't have heated mirrors and when it rains (and after) its a tough situation having water drops on the mirrors! So it would be interesting to be able to install heated mirrors to my car. Is it hard to do this and how?

    Just use Rain-X its much cheaper and easier especially if you don't have the wire pre installed.

    Running wires into the door from the car will be a royal pain is the A$$.

    I added heated seats to an R53 once, but I've never messed with the mirrors. I thought all MINIs had heated mirrors.
