Default DIfference between M5 mirrors pre-lci and LCI

Hello,

as the title states, does anyone know the major differences in the LCI m5 mirrors and the pre-LCI m5 mirrors?

As far as I'm concerned, the pre-lci still comes with puddle lights, auto-folding and auto-dim.

There is no difference. Now, there is a difference between the pre and post 9/05 mirrors. That difference is wiring tho. Whether or not the mirrors come with all options is independent of production year

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you want me to see in that pic. Those basically look just like mine.

I just wanted to post a picture for fun.

I am considering plasti-dipping the bottom side cover hyper-black/silver. Normally people like to carbon fiber that piece. I wonder if someone could photoshop how that would look on a dark car.

Hahaha, ok. I got that feeling that it was something so obviously different that I just wasn't seeing it.

To get an idea about the mirrors head over to M5board and see what they have done with theirs.

this is the only picture I was able to find which is something close to what I'm talking about. I would prefer a darker color though.

I'm looking for a pair of the m5 mirrors that will work on my 07 550i... I also want the auto fold, puddle and dim type. I saw a window and mirror controller on ebay with the auto fold button. Is this plug and play or will it need coding

MY09+ M5s got a different mirror shape than MY06-08 (they were taller and less attractive IMO). Here is a shot of the Model Year 2009+ mirrors:
