My Ride: 2004 e60 M5 Replica Titanium Silver Premium Package Premium Sound Package Adaptive Xenon's Apple iPhone cell interactive pared with iDrive Bluetooth setting 19 inch BMW OEM 166M rims, Michelin tires Sprint Booster - V2 Fidelity / BMW Extended Warranty 7 year / 100,000 miles
Cool

...I just took out a loan a the bank, and then some months I might have "to pimp" out my girlfriend for a year in order to make payments on BMW OEM M5 mirror loan... (Now I am just kidding LOL), but I did bite the bullet and ordered the real thing, the BMW OEM E60 M5 Mirrors, that list for $1,900.00 from BMW USA, and after a local Atlanta BMW dealer gave me a 20% discount that brought the price down some to approx: $1,500.00. But they are the very same mirrors that comes on the 2008 E60 M5.

WOW, great looking car!!! you actually got the side grill with your M kit? Did you order it from the same one (i forgot his name) selling the kit up here? 1500 for side mirrors are still a bit hard to bite though.

Easy, he is going all out on M5 conversion. But i think after the exterior conversion complete, he will be on the interior and will never be done.

Like we learned in another thread that Eddie started. He lives above a meth lab. This explains the now $13,000.00 he's invested in his pseudo M5 project. Eddie, I still say part out your mods, sell your car and buy an M5 already. We're bordering the bizarre at this point. You'll probably be ahead of the game with all of the borrowed money you're spending.

Thats not an M5 bumper if hes going all out for an M5 lookalike.

Great looking car but I cant see $1500 worth of difference with those mirrors.

I think I'd rather for go spending the money on the conversion and just get the real thing...time and money spent on conversion versus real thing will balance out eventually..along with peace of mind...IMHO

I don't think the 2008 M5 mirrors will work with you car, I think its a different wiring set-up
