It looks great but I don't think the ///M badge belongs to your car. Someone will say you are a M5 poser.

It is not an M5 and I do not want to show it. However it comes with 11 OEM ///M badges (4 wheels, 4 door steps, steering wheel, gear knob, foot rest) so I do not think one more makes the difference. On the end it is an M sport version.

It took a while but finally I made up my mind and decide to change the OEM rear mirrors with the M model.
Everything works fine and the car, in my opinion, looks great.

Good decision and good price...compared to what I paid...
The nice thing about installing them on a titsilver car, is that you have this very sporty looking color contrast, which you don't have installing them on a black car.
Should I repaint my car...

Well the 166's on M530DT's car don't really have the deep fish look, that's why i'm thinking it are replica's.
Could be wrong, but i'm kinda sure...

Yes you are right, they are replicas, but I think they are nearly deep as OEM, and a lot shinier. And for 1520Euro with tyres it?s a bargain! This pictures is before lowering and M5-mirrors!

Well i didn't say they were ugly

. They sure look fine, and yes like you say they are nearly as deep.
Did see much, much worse replica's before...

But like you say for 1500 ? with tires that is really a bargain. Like your car although. It looks very good
