My Ride: 545i SMG with Limited Slip Differential
Model Year: 2005
Default

2-3 days ago I have travelled for about 1000 kms .. I reached "only" 240 kph and at high speeds there is no comparison between original mirrors and M5 mirrors : nothing, no air noise with M5 mirrors .

But also at medium speeds, like 150 kmh (here in my country we can go to 145 kph of cruise control with minimal risks - limit is 130 but there is a 'tolerance'), there are advantages .

Now I only have to change runflat tires and after I wll have silence .


Has someone else with M5 mirrors noticed this ?
