You might want to ask him to remove the black vinyl sticker that is put on the part before shipping. You can see it in the photo on the 1st page. This is cool if you have anything but a black car, otherwise the shop is going to have to remove it to paint over it properly.

Yah, while I agree the puddle lights are cool, they personally don't serve much of a purpose to me, and certainly is not worth paying over 50% for. I can't say I have ever been anywhere so dark that I couldn't see the car. Besides, with my mods, my car is lit pretty well when I unlock anyway, lol.

Yes the puddle lights light up only when locking and unlocking the car and the mirrors are visible at all time night or day

The auto-dimming feature is a great addition to the looks of the M5 side mirrors(no bluish tint glasses). I'm still satisfied with just the auto-dim, I can't get the auto-fold feature to work since my car doesn't have this feature.

agreed, auto dim is a great feature..so the reps do not have this feature correct? just the blueish tint that joe mentioned?
