Default Bought oem m5 side mirrors with compatible wiring for my 04 e60. DIY or garage?

Got the mirrors from ebay costing me about 2400 usd. Has the compatible wiring for my 04 525i E60. Now the question is, should i be able to install them myself without a problem or should i hit a garage? Please help.

I wrote up a diy a few years ago. It's for post Sept 05 wiring but it should get you going. Do a search for my name in diy section.

OMG.... I know them mirrors look good, but does it worth it to put $2400 for just the mirrors on a 10 years old car?

He is in Malaysia, so they probably cost more there. Also I got mine about 3 years ago for about $1000 and could probably sell them now for about $900-950. They really do change the look of the car.

Thanks! Got em installed in under 2 hours. Was pretty much plug and play due to the wires which matched my car. Appreciate your thread!

The genuines are hardly available in here. The ones on the market are mostly from thailand so didn't take a chance instead got em shipped from PA. Includes the motors, wide angle mirrors amd compatible wires. Expensive and sexy!
