That's been posted before and don't get too excited. Multiply the pound by 2 = US dollars. So, 370 pounds is $740. Not such a great deal after all.

CA Automotive are absolutely excellent guys. They sponsor BMWLand forum in the UK.
Have met them last weekend again with their supercharged M3 CSL. Nice toy.

And I agree, for UK rip off pricing culture, their prices are not too bad. (Compared to the US they may well be)

Teddy at SSDD Motorsport also does similar ones at ? 279,-
Not sure if there's a quality difference, but they retain all existing functions including auto fold

Correct me if I'm wrong here Olli, but that picture looks more like the E39 M5 mirrors and not the E60 M5 mirrors. Can you follow up with them and confirm that these are identical to the E60 OEM mirrors? If it does everything it says it does, this is not a bad price.

Calton, they do indeed look like E39 mirrors, but might just be a sample pic.
Just sent Teddy at SSDD an e-mail, he's a very nice kid and I am sure he can either confirm or send you the correct pic.

info@ssdd-motorsport.com

Tell him Olli from BMWLand recommended you there and I am sure, he'll be back swiftly
