All cars produced after 09/2005 have the same mirror connections, LCI or not.

I'm sorry, but I can't exactly tell you what to do, as I don't know how your M5 mirrors are connected. I would also advise you to take the time to look in to this and how the different mirrors are wired and connected.

You will find all the information you need in these threads:

Are those OEM M5 Mirrors? I thought OEM M5 mirrors have puddle lights?

There are 2 different connections for mirrors efter 2007. Some run on lin-bus some dont. So if your old mirrors are "hard wired" you will need to wire the new ones to the Lin-bus signal. All mirrors with auto fold, dimming and puddle lights run on lin-bus. Standard mirrors without theise dont.
