+1 It's a downgrade over stock mirrors. Seem like all you are getting is the looks but lose out on the features.

i talked to a distributor of car parts in Taiwan he said its going to be impossible to do the M5 mirror replica with the same features, he said they worked on it for a year and no one in Taiwan will beable to replicate it unless they put up close to $300,000 for the software and parts!!

but fact is, on ebay in germany, primed oem m5 mirrors (witha all the features) go away for EUR 500ish, which is cheaper than those replicas. you guys, specially in uk, might be better off searching for mirrors in germany and paying a bit more for shipping. check out ebay item 320198973031 as an example...
