Just refuse to turn on if the chip in the new part doesn't match up with a code in the ECU. Like printer ink, but for every major component. 'Error, cannot start engine: Authorised mirror not found. Please visit BMW for an authentic replacement. Driving with non-authentic mirrors may harm user safety.'
