It does not have a puddle light. I don't need them anyway because my car won't support it. I just need basic functions. I don't need "authentic" mirrors for 2x the price.

your current mirrors down have a puddle light? I thought it was standard..yeah if you don't care about the functions, replica is the best way to go to save money..I just wanted the puddle light.
But you can definitely get a used M5 mirror from euro for like $700, which is only 100 more than the Rep.
I sold one pair of M5 mirrors to Jerry (Delje) on the forum for like $600ish.. People just gotta find the right deals.

Puddle light is apart of Premium package. So not all cars have it.. I guess.

Why does it have to be so stupid hard to find these M5 mirrors for a good price and why the hell is it all coming from Europe? Isn't there a US distributor of this stuff that comes with puddle lights, etc?

Awesome ! I am curious to see what 'functions" it does have. obviously Fold and Puddle lights would be nice - but heated, memory and autodimming are a must.
I just placed a order, its not thru yet, he said it can take 7-14 days to manufacture. I can't wait that long, hes going to email the su pplier to see if I can get them sooner. It will be under $600 shipped 3-5 shipping. I'll keep you guys updated.

thats crazy cheap...
And I wanted the "Fold" ability and i found some mirrors in europe this guy was selling. $600ish.
So i bought it from him, which has fold option and electrochromatic ability.
And i sold the guts of the non-electrochrome to jerry, along with the housing, which was different color from my car, and i just used the original housing which is painted to my car.
