Thanks Hellraiser.
The best quote I've got for the M-Mirrors so far is 1300 Euros painted and mounted.
I'm trying to find a better deal.
Vilauto is booked for next Saturday
I'll keep you posted on that.
As for roof rails - I don't use them. The view from the panoramic roof is clearer and I think the car looks sleeker. Since mine came in the dealer says other people are opting to not have the roof rails !!
Just noted that I didn't include a photo of the 2 cars together:

I think the same thing but then come to a crashing realization: I wouldn't be able to put my bike or ski rack on the car w/o buying a new rack system and I'm not about to do that now. Looks great btw.

Nice! What interior do you have? I'll get my new LCI E61 touring Monday. MSport - TiSilver/Black. Coming from a black E61 I love how crisp the TiSilver looks. I'll also have the panoroof, but with rails since I'll use them alot.

Congrats on yours! I think I'll snap some pre-delivery shots at the dealer tomorrow..

Yes the car really does look sleeker without the rails! That is what is making this indecision! I have all the hardware waiting on my local BMW dealer...


...and i?m going there for an oil change this friday...let?s wait and see!


About the wine collection...living in Portugal is everything to do with that!

Good wine, good cheese, good food!

And of course...lots of taxes and bad roads!! LOL
