Ok I got a resposne from Alex.br's source... the mirror he's going to provide is a wide angle glass...
Alex how does that look compared to the stock OEM? can you try to describe that as best you can?
Here's his response.
The glass I provided for Alex and what is also the
standard accompanying mirror pair I send with the M5 mirrors is the Heated
Wide Angle Glass (Part #'s: 51 16 7 897 547 and 51 16 7 897 548) They're
appropriate for LHD cars.? My standard price on a primed pair of these is
$1199.95 and painted version is $1499.95 per pair.? The kits include each
mirror assembly and each glass insert.?
If you're looking for the primed kits, I can offer you each set for $1089
including insured shipping.
If you're looking for the factory painted kits (VIN's required), I can offer
you each set for $1335 including insured shipping.

Basically, he's giving us a littles less than 10% off the mirrors.
I feel silly asking because it's probably a simple answer...what is "LHD"?

I guess I'm still interested but need to check with my dealer or body shop to see how much they'll charge to do the install...I will not do it myself! If I understand correctly...it's just plug-and-play, no additional buttons or switches? Can someone please confirm that? 'Cause if that's the case, I'm still in for a factory painted set. I'll contact Justin and let ya'll know as well.

'Kay, here's the deal: Justin from RoverActive explained that if you want "Electrochrom" on the mirrors, add $289 to the $1335 (factory painted). Can someone clarify what electrochrom is? Is this for the heated mirrors or/and auto dimming? If so, I don't need it in So. Cal. I may just go for the plain ones...I'll ask Justin and let you all know what it means.
BTW, Justin would prefer that you emailed him at RoverActive@verizon.net rather than the other "personal" email address. He can also be reached at 1-888-BWROVER.
