Took Delivery 10/26/2009: LOADED! E60 M5 Silverstone II/Black, Active Seats, Comfort Ventilated/Heated Seats, HUD, Brushed Aluminum Trim,
After preparing my door for it's new mirrors, I finally got to put them on the third day. Each day I spent at least 2 hours trying to figure out how the originals are plugged into the module, and how to take them out. The second day I thought to my self hell yeah, Im about to put these bad boys on, but nope. The last torx screw got stripped due to my cheesy tools. I took my car to my buddy's body shop and we drilled that sucker out.
Heres some pix.
Heres some pix.

Hey Alex, I had two options on hand. Either OEM or replica. I decided that I never cared for all of the functions only auto dip, so I went with the replicas and saved me close to $500. These are the same ones that I mentioned in an earlier thread that my buddy ordered.
mind telling meWhere you order it from? Thanks Phi
