I have found 1 supplier who is the main distributor of bmw5.co.uk forums called Cotsworld BMW which is a DEALER for BMW who is willing to support us. However, prices are still considerately more expensive to member 530da.
The quoted price are 909.76 GB pounds which is 1364 dollars.
For U.S located people this price includes INSURED to 1000 pounds 3 day SIGNED Airmail shipping.
Other people in the world its 811 pounds.....PLUS shipping cost.
Functions include: AUTODIMMING (the most expensive option ever), auto-folding, heated and puddle lamps
Im posting to see how you guys think about the price?....i have negotiated hard and Im not sure they will budge.
NOTE. They required a vin number to check prices, so i gave them mine....which is RHD pre-2005 and this is the price they gave me. However, LHD and post-2005 price may vary (he said by very little). HOWEVER by checking this website

POST-2005 cars seem to be cheaper than PRE-2005

They will require payment through paypal.......

To get this deal, he will require vin number from all of us. Although the options will be the same.....as stated above!
What do you guys think?......

Hi, who do I need to give my VIN number to in order to get an exact price? The price does seem a bit steep so any better price would be more tempting

Hi yes you would need a vin for EXACT price. But refering to what i said above...prices wont vary too much. IMO prices are steep in comparison to 530da price. But its alot cheaper than other dealers and on ebay...i think rover active sells them for 1800 excluding shipping for auto dimming function.
Well if you think the price is right......then sign your name on....ill make a new list...
1.ACS6
2.

8.
9.
10.
then will pass the VIN number all on at once....so PM me.....ure VIN......however if you prefer to pass your VIN directly to him thats ok too.....but it would mean more hassle for him...
Jas...your price will be higher than the u.s price....refer to the 811.34 pounds price and add VAT to that......cause U.S customer do not need to pay VAT....he said delivery in U.K is free...however overall for uk people prices are higher with vat and without delivery in comparison to us people
I can negotiate prices....more but we sorta need to come up with a price everyone is willing to pay for.....add comments...but pls show realistic offers.....

not to put a damper on your GB, but why not just get it from 530dA? unless something has drastically changed with his policy and pricing....he is the guy to go for M5 mirrors! i personally have purchased from him and i couldn't be happier. i paid less and they came painted beautifully - no fading and/or chipping after 8 months or so. to top it off, no need for a GB. i have referred several ppl to him, in fact, two of our fellow e60'ers just purchased from him the past 2 wks!

On update. I just dropped cotworld bmw a call.....he said he will asked BMW Germany again, because its still 200 pounds of 530da offer........ So we'll see what the last price he can get. Stay tuned.
Anyone in the U.K wanna help me negotiate?.....
If 530da can supply us again this deal will be done!!!!

Whoa $1,364? Garry Romani is selling these mirrors for $1,400 flat and they would come much quicker for those living in the states. Please take me off this group buy list if this price is the lowest they are going. Thanks.
