My Ride: 2006 Audi A8 4.2TDI Previous rides: 2005 E61 530d, 20" Breyton reps, Eibach springs, M5 bumper/mirrors/MFSW 2000 Audi S6 Avant, 18" OZ, RS6 exhaust etc 1998 Audi A8 4,2Q, 19" RS4 wheels, Remus exhaust KW coilovers etc 1986 Audi 100CC, funky fresh steel rims w plastic covers, rubber lip on boot..... 1987 BMW 320i, 15" alloys + rubber lip on boot :) 1982 Opel Ascona 1,6DL, tinted windows and a big-ass subwoofer :P
Default

So...I already have to update my original plan

"M5 front bumper (already in my garage waiting for fresh layer of paint, and some warmer weather)
White angel eyes
Painted calipers
CF roundels
Black grille
Possibly tinted rear lights
If I stumble over some reasonably priced sideskirts, M5 mirrors or other interesting stuff I might pull the trigger on them as well."


after I searched a salvage yard database and found these babies:

They were actually priced like regular mirrors so it was a good find.

good find hilden, maybe you can make a business out of it, few people here on the forum are interested in getting M5 mirrors. That salvage yard might have some more M5 mirrors lying around.

Nah unfortunately not. I checked the entire database and they were only 2 cars being parted out for now. There was a steering wheel but nothing else that could be used for visual upgrades. It was 250 EUR + shipping though so it's the same price as objects I've seen on ebay. Anyway, if someone's looking for other stuff to an M5 you can PM and I can check this db.
