I did the installation by myself. its not hard but need some time.

here is the part numbers:

51337072883
51337072884
51357072887
51357072888
51217135161
51217135162
51227135163
51227135164

there is 2 part numbers that have changed in bmw system so if u order them online u might not find them but if u go to any dealership they will be able to get the right numbers.

if u need any help let me know I live in charlotte and I can help with the installation if u want
Thank you so much for this! I'm debating trying to organize a gathering of sorts for an e60 photo shoot in Raleigh. I'm a pro photographer and thought it would be kind of a cool way to get people together, have a little fun and network with other e60 owners. I'll need to do it sometime in the winter but, if I can, I may see about arranging for a place where we can all help each other out with quick mods/installs before the shoot.

Just churning the wheels right now but it seems like win/win for everyone (and the shoot would be my donation).

u will not regret the m5 mirrors get it coded also so it can fold up and down using your key fob
btw: pls don't get the replica coz i believe it doesn't have the motor and the mirror is totally different IMHO
good luck!
