From another AW/B owner to another--beautiful! There is something about the AW and the lines of the E60 that make it a stunner, and the black leather is truly a beaut!
Sorry to get repetitive, but put me on that mirror list too. They are fantastic. Can you give other details beyond price like who painted them, whether you have concerns of chipping, etc.?
Best of luck.....

Regarding the mirrors... it looks like my guy will do more mirror sets. We decided that we would partner up and do a limited group buy, not more than 10. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I will give you pricing information and more details. The mirrors come painted and my bodyshop guy (who installed them) indicated that they had to be painted at the factory, the quality was that good. So chipping is no concern at all.
Regarding Alpine White... I wasn't even conidering the color. I was going carbon black all the way. But then I saw it at the dealer and that was all it took. The black in the grill and fogs, and the flares of the side sirts and fenders really are enhanced by the AW.
And the all black interior helps to "sport up" what I feel is a not very sporty interior to begin with.

Thanks for all the comments... 
I will do my best to see if my source wants to sell any more sets of mirrors. Or whether that was just a one-of sort of thing. Pricing was very competitive given the paint quality, functions, and electro-chromatic glass. I will update when I know more.

Can you PM me on how much it was?

Absolutely stunning. AW is growing on me, and those M5 mirrors are the perfect finishing touch. Hope the new BMW accessory division offers them.

Must admit to not knowing anything about this mod.....
Lovely car bytheway - these certainly look the business IMHO - the AW must certainly be easier to look after than my Jet Black!!
