Have been thinking about it yeah but the OEM ones are way too much -- and a friend of mine got his stolen off his E60 parked near the Tapei 101.. hehehe... So yeah, if there are some high quality reps, I might think about it.

Come to think of it, on Taiwan's 'ebay', I see quite a few M-Tech fronts for sale (with no hardware) and seem to have been taken off in a hurry.... I wonder if I get an M-Tech, it might happen to me as well..... I might come out of my office to find it missing a front....
Stolen?? The theft must know about E60 and know thats expensive

I will keep my eye those quality replica in HK, will PM you if i found it

Hey Keith,

Have you done any comparison between the M5 replica mirrors and the OEM ones?
I think taiwan is making some replica and they are 90% same.
Im waiting for them too.

The replica ain't good, they dont have the plastics insert, no underneath LED and the shape is not exact the M5 aswell.
Are you looking some high quality replica?
+1 they are not the same and dont have the bottum half CF.
I would give it a miss.
Derick has the replica M5.

Also, i also want to swap my steering wheels too... but that airbag cost like 10k ... def doesnt worth at all. i found the same oem parts in US for like 600USD. which is 4800 HKD only.. so i might give it a try...

Pinguhk said BMW HK is currently doing promotion for the Mtec steering wheel better go and check it.
You can get all fitted at BMW within 10K (Incl airbag)

Or

You can always search on Ebay for a bargian, but make sure you are getting the right stuff for you car
e.g pre 05 and post 05 Mtec wheel are different
