You already have one of the best looking E60s in New York. Now it gets even better. Do you intend to paint the mirrors the color of your car's body or leave them black?

Hand hurts?! why?!?!

Looks great BTW! When you want to get them to fold?!?!?

Lower that car man!
Thanks Mike. My hands hurt because I didn't remove the panel completely, so I had an awkward angle to get those wires unplugged while balancing the panel off the box. It was a bitch to do for the 1st one.

Auto Fold - I did look into that. The only wire that looks close to what you described in the other thread is a yellow and brown/black wire. How much work there is to hook it up?

Lower the car, never. I really like the ride as is.

Damn I think it looks freakin badass with the black M5 mirrors! I've never seen it done that way before.

Looks sweet David....did u paint the mirrors or are they black?
Thanks Roy.

They were painted matte black, and the edge is gross black. It was sold to me this way, I wanted to try it on like that. They kinda match the shadowline trims and the front grilles, I guess.

Thanks Scott. Hows your vacation so far?

I'm gonna leave them black and see how I like them 1st. Besides, its easier to unload them if I needed to. hahaha

Half matte black and half body color would be bad ass...just a future thought.

BTW, ur still missing LED interior lights! =P I can extend a friends and family discount!
Thanks John.

I got from member dirrrty. They were around $1k. How did you get one side without mirror?

I'll let you know about those LEDs. Thanks for the offer.
