Does a 2008 550 LCI come with electrochrome side mirrors?

If not, if I install M5 mirrors with electrochrome glass, is that going to create any problems?

The 08 550i has the Premium package as standard equipment therefore you do have electro-chromatic mirror glass. There won't be any problems using the M5 electro-chromatic mirror glasses with your 550i.

Thanks VT, you are truly an asset to this forum....

Looking at the LCI broshure, the listing for this feature (in the listing of options section toward the rear) is a little ambiguous... it indicates that "automatic-dimming interior rear-view mirros and power-folding exterior side-view mirrors" as standard on the 550i. But it never explicitly states that the side-view mirrors are auto-dimming. In the body of the broshure it says that for the 528 and 535 premium package the side-view mirrors are auto-dimming. And under the Premium Package listing at the back, it indicates that all the features of the Premium Package are standard on the 550i.

So that is why I was a little uncertain.
