Gents,
I bought OEM M5 mirrors (w/ ECM glass) a while back, had them painted and installed them myself.
It wasnt as hard as I thought. I followed the DIY posted here. Once I got through the
first one, the second took no time at all. I think this is a must have mod. Enjoy...

The mirrors in the link below are not worth $20. I think they will make your bimmer look like a ricer civic (complete with overdone bumpers, picnic table rear spoilers, wannabeeimmitation xenons, tin car exhaust, and neon lights everywhere).
On top of that, I think that M5 mirrors are overrated. Even if I had a choice, I would not choose them for free. ...
... Yes, they are "unique", but if you think about it, they are less functional (surface area of non-M5 mirrors is greater than M5's). Only if (and only if) the M5 mirrors would add some kind of usuable, realistic downforce to a car ... I would maybe, consider to buy them. Any other case I see no point ... especially paying $1500 for them.
... Unreal what people spend on pointless gadgets for their cars.

Comparing the shape between the non-M5 vs. M5 mirrors, the non-M5
mirrors are more square and boxy vs. the M5 mirrors. Just a hunch...
