Help with unusual measurement on X6...

Can anybody with an F16 measure from the ground to the highest point on the side mirror? And from the ground to the outermost point of the top of the side mirror? I have a very old garage with runners that narrow the effective width of the garage entrance at a point 48" above ground level. And the mirror measurement is not one I can find online

thanks for your help

Edmunds typically has the exterior measurements and they go from mirror to mirror or whichever is the widest point of the vehicle with doors closed.

Thanks -- but no measurements I've seen (including Edmunds) gives the distance between the ground and the high point of the mirror. They give height, which is to highest point on the roof, which doesn't tell me the highest point of the mirror. Like I said -- unusual measurment!

thanks

OP
The highest point on the mirror on my 2017 F16 is 52 5/16", that is very close to the window. The very outside edge of the mirror at it's apex is 48". BTW I have 20" rims, not sure if that makes a difference.

Highest point 52. outmost edge 47 3/4.
I asked to drive previous x5 home to see the fitment.
Hope dealer is close or will look after you.
Any additional concerns put into the contract.
