My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I just saw this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06-BMW-E...055619693QQrdZ1
What do you guys think? I like the M5 mirrors but it's a bit over priced to me and it seems I would be one step closer to being an M5 wannabe (no offense to those who has it). Do these mirrors look "cheap"?

I kinda like them, look expensive. You can always loose the blinker or blacken it out with black coating like some of those rear lights

Looks like they have ones without the LED blinkers:

I wouldn't get non-OEM ones. I used to have an E46 and I bought mirrors like those on ebay and it created a lot of wind noise, the quality was poor, and the motor started make strange noises. A month later, I bought OEM M3 mirrors. You live and learn
