An e60 forum 'group discount' sounds real good right now.

Hi,
My original side mirror got the auto dimming function. This feature is so new to me and all my previous cars didn't have this function.? Is it worth to order M5 side mirror with the auto dimming function? As u know, it is much more expensive. I would like u to share your experience.
thanks

If you noticed the auto-dimming on your original mirrors, then you'll definitely notice them on the M5 mirrors. The main question is do you get a lot of inconsiderate drivers where you normally drive who leave their highbeams on when they're behind you. If you have tinted front windows, then the utility of auto-dimming outside mirrors goes down precipitously as well.

I see that you have also colour coded the "mirror mounting sections" (not sure what they are called ) see attached comparison pics:

Did you do this before you got the M5 mirrors or was that one of the parts that came with the mirrors?

Thanks

The mounting sections in the kit are primed, unlike the stock mounting sections which have a black plastic finish.

Shame about Retief and Ernie over the weekend.

I have ordered the m5 mirror without the auto dimming function from the hong kong dealer due to the pricing issue. The one with this function is 50% more than the one without this function. However, the dealer told me that my original mirror has the auto dimming function. If I ordered the one without this function, my new m5 mirror will not have the folding function. So I forced to pay extra 50 % for my m5 mirror due to this issue.

could someone verify this problem for me? :'(

What happened to all the talk about a group buy? I'm ready to do this! Seems like most everyone indicating interest was in CA. Should we start a list...and see what kind of discount we can work out?

Ok lets Gather a list.

1. Blackonblackinblack (So Cal)
2. EBMCS03 (So Cal) price dependant
3. freed0m (Nor Cal)
4. soc_fans (Nor Cal) price dependant
5. Centurion (So Cal)
6. Anyone else? Please add your name...


Then we can contact either Alex.br's dealer or probably even dealers here in the states that will do it. I'm pretty sure mine will and I have a fairly good relationship with the parts dept.
