Thanks Patrick.
I didn't hear from them today, and tomorrow is a holiday here. So lets see what I can come up with on Friday.

Right.
I suspect that those prices frightened everyone away!
No worries.

Whoa! That's pretty hefty almost the cost of M5 mirrors. Thanks for inquiring about the prices, Patrick.
And true about the M5 mirror cost.
Maybe we should wait until the Euro is a lot cheaper!
Perhaps there is someone else from the EU that would be willing to check these out for you. Prices from BMW Finland are generally considered to be extremely high.

Big ouch! Can't believe the cost of this tiny mirror!!
IIRC, they were $45USD for my e39. Well, in the meantime, I've got one of these guys: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=15736541
It's nice but it doesn't dim, of course, and my big head blocks a bit of the view.

On every vehicle that I have owned, I've been able to adjust the mirrors so I don't have any blind spots for 1 lane left and right. I do have blind spots two lanes over on large highways, but I've never found that to be much of an issue.
As a car leaves the rear view mirror, it enters the side view mirror and as it leaves the side view mirror it enters my peripheral vision.
Most people seem to have their side view mirrors set up to see the car behind them, which means they have terrible blind spots.
Am I missing something, or are people concerned about the blind spot for traffic two lanes over?

Hi Guys
Many moons ago I had a E60 and was just clearing out my garage at the weekend, I have a set of these with the wide angle, and they are original BMW items in the original boxes, the car was leased, so I put the standard ones back on before the car went back, I will be putting them on ebay shortly but let me know if any of you want them, I am open to offers and I remember them being rather expensive, but that was a long time ago!. I am based in London, UK.
Thanks!.
