You have to admit.... The E60 M5 mirrors were very, very gorgeous. So much so that they made the car stand out more than any other feature besides the "gills". The current F10 M5 has the SAME mirrors that standard F10 5 series have and I'm very confused by this. Why the hell would BMW scrap those amazing E60 m5 mirrors?!!?!?!? THEY MADE THE CAR!

Here is what it needs!



not this!

Fear not! As we've not actually seen the production car yet, I'm sure they will get the unique M mirrors right (hell, somethings gotta be unique to the new M for the money since the engine isn't)

After reading my own damn thread I bought M5 mirrors today. LOL. I'll have them installed in 2 weeks. =-p

Before and after I'm sure! So what if its a straight 6!? At least it'll look cool right?

But of course! Personally, mods are about making the car look better. So if that means adding M5 mirror, quad, fender grill, then so be it!

I'm thinking about changing my mirrors to the standard, square mirrors on the non-M E60's.
