Not too shabby! Are those 172s specifically for the E61 or are they just any o' #172s? Cuz like for the #144s they made special ones for the all wheel drive models and for the E61 didnt they?

ALSO is that the M5 mirror or the "M-Sport" mirror... basically a M5 look a like mirror made for the regular production 5 series...

They are standard 172's, they fit the E61 without any modification just bolt straight on, no rubbing or turning problems. However they do affect the laod carrying capacity of the E61, but thats not a problem for me as if i wanted a van i would have bought a van. IMO i just prefer the shape of the E61 to the E60

Yes they are genuine M5 mirrors, ordered against an M5 chassis number.

No problems wiring them up? I guess you shouldnt since you guys have the Mirror folding option already so the connector is the same?
