From www.nvdautosport.com:

The mirrors will come with heated glass (optional). This set of mirrors includes both driver and passenger side mirrors. No electrical motor provided, need to use back from the stock mirror. The mirror is manual fold (These mirrors fit all E60, E61, E63, E64 models). We have these for 2 door & convertible and 4 door models. Get the impressive look on your E60, E61, E63, E64 with this E60 M5 style mirror ( side mirror ). Available in carbon fibre , painted color, primer color.

I had the auto dim on my standard OEM mirrors and do not have it on my current OEM M5 Mirrors -- and I am glad! I prefer to have the mirrors without that auto-dim function, simply for better visibility. I do not have issue with getting blinded by the outside mirrors. (I do like the internal auto-dim mirror though).


Congrats Howitzer on the mirrors -- you'll love the transformation
