This item comes with blue-tinted lenses, anti-fog, and heated features (with memory). It also has built-in LED turn signals and foot lamps.
The price is right @ $300.00 a pair especially if they come with motors and everything pre-installed in the mirror assembly. I wonder if these are an exact replica?

I think there was thread about tEbay M5 rep mirrors not looking exactly like the m5 mirrors itself or it doesn't fit properly. I can't remember since that thread was very old and I can't find it anymore. May be this is a different one so if someone does get it, please post your more info on it.

Those do not look like E60 M5 mirrors at all. Not even close, lol.

At first glance it doesn't seem that these are an exact replica. Notice that there is no "ring" edge on the eBay mirror. If you're not very particular, this may not be a big deal given the functionality these mirrors offer. Having said that, I like the unique look of the M5 mirror, no exceptions.

Im really not in love with the shape compared to the reps from NVD...I guess the gains will be a motorized mirrow with the puddle lights in trade off for the "offical" look... These are mine from NVD...

yea I prefer the exact look. I couldn't tell how much different they where based on them only being primer and the pics are kind of dark.

Yes imperialtrini1,
The NVD mirrors are true to form compared to the OEM M5 mirrors.
