What do you guys think of these? Anyone know anyone that has had experience with them in regards to fitment or looks?

I agree, it does'nt look right! Don't like the turn signals either! They look like the E39 M5 replica mirrors IMHO.

Ya I linked the wrong images!

P.S. - I found another source out of the UK that has a good reputation called CA Automotive. The URL is here: http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/singl...pZD0yMDA4.html

Turns out to be around $560 USD. I might just do this and be the guinea pig!

You can be the official forum "tester" for these and let us know how they turn out!

I thought so! CA have got a good rep here in the UK. I personally hav'nt purchased anything from them but when i used to work in a bmw modding bodyshop, the owner used to get all his parts from there and he was never disappointed! I think umnitza might have a link with them as they advised me to buy the part i wanted from CA as they supplied them.

I just bought a pair of carbon fiber kidney grills from CA. Depending on what they look like, I will be getting the mirrors next.

IMO M5 mirrors dont even look good on a M5. They just don't flow with the lines of the car
