Folks,
I bought M5 mirrors will all the options on them including the auto dimming mirrors.
Auto dimming is the most expensive feature on the mirrors and those glasses alone costs about ?500 from BMW. However my car does not have auto dimming and so its a complete waste on my car.
I'm willing to swap my almost new (never fitted on my car but it was on another car for about 2 months) M5 post Sep 2005 mirrors with someone else who wants the mirrors. In return I am asking for your M5 mirrors with all the options except the auto-dimming and ?200 (ONO). Will also consider swapping only the internals of the mirror (motor, ECU, wires etc) and the glasses too in case you have the shells painted and don't want to spend more money.
That way you will still save over ?300 off the BMW prices.
My mirrors are currently Space Gray RHD and have the 3 wires.

Hi, are these mirrors, if avaliable, for swap only or also for sale?
If so how much to buy them?

He clearly stated the only reason for the trade is because of the auto dimming feature that is useless to him. He doesn't want to sell his mirrors. He stated he only wants to trade with someone who needs this feature and doesn't have it.

Seeing that it is his first post, this is a common move from a newb. Try to read the entire post before asking questions pal.
Sorry for my newbie question
Perhaps I should have written, If you havent managed to find somebody to swap your mirrors with yet, would you consider selling them?

Why would I sell the best shaped mirrors in the world? I just thought I would recover some of my costs by selling the most expensive pieces of glasses in the world. Yup I bought the auto dimming mirrors when I didn't or don't want that feature. So instead I was offering the sell brand new glasses for half the price. All I need is someone to buy mirrors with normal glasses and then give those to me so that I can continue using the M5 mirrors.
