Guys,
here you go. Here is the DIY!
Sorry for taking this long. But I had to figure out which pics to take - my g/f took 433 pics in those 3 hours
To the mirrors themselves:
- colours match perfectly! Great job 530dA, sorry I mean your supplier
- auto dip works, electric mirrors work, and I assume heating mirrors also work
- i dont have the options on my car to check if paddle lights/autofold/ec mirrors work but if you read my DIY you will see why this should work.
As to the mod itself - would i do it? Yes I would. It looks great. Obviously a plug/play would be to take LCI mirrors but considering the amount i save if I had bought it from the dealer (1200 EUR MORE than what we paid for this group buy), I am happy with the extra bit of work...
One more thing: guys - you are old enough to be held responsible for what you do, so don't hold anything against me This dyi is just a fyi.
thanks
Rumman

There is always the option to spam 530dA with mails till he gives in and starts a 2 group buy
Hello Rumman,
You did a great job, it seems quite simpel to do that, for me
but you did spent a lot of time to find it out.
And the stock of my suplier going getting empty
Regards,
530dA

Your colour is available (space grau), and with the DIY from Rumman you can do it on your self
total amount for you will approx, 700 euro's full loaded//M5 mirror including EC glass, fabric Painted.
That still cheap i think, for a nice bmw E60 //M5 mirrors
Regards,
530dA
