Recently picked up a pair of OEM M5 mirrors....so its time to let my NVD replicas go.
when i did the install this summer i took out my OEM puddle lights from my non-M5 mirrors and retrofitted them into the NVD replicas. the fitment is spot on (though they are a little rough around the edges....but honestly...its the bottom of the mirror so you would only see it if u laid flat on your back on the ground and look up).
They look just like OEM mirrors but without the functionality. they are not powerfolding and no you cannot retrofit powerfolding via an OEM motor.
they are currently painted Silver Gray with gloss black painted lower portion. however of course you can have a body shop repaint them to your own car color.
they include flat non-convex replica glass. i cracked one of the mirrors while taking them off and ordered a fresh mirror to replace it....it is included in the sale as well. the mirrors are heated.
the NVD reps are like $560 new for the set painted and shipped....without the possibility of puddle lights.
i am letting these go for $400 bucks shipped (USPS in the contiguous United States). again they include replica glass and the puddle lights i retrofitted. when you do the install you will just need to plug in the puddle lights and boom you will be good to go. i kept the original OEM plug within my wiring diagram. (this is for the sale only, im not offering to walk you through the install as well lol)

hahaha!
yea, i wanted to be very specific about that. one thing ive learned thru my myriad of mods....its one thing to take it apart yourself....its another to try and walk someone thru it. that being said, i also included the DIY link....im all about sharing the info you know.
btw, you should just pick these up and have a local shop paint them for you man...its no biggie! ill even sand them down and prime them for you...

No love on these? I thought people would jump on these....especially since you get to retain the puddle lights with a replica mirror. hmm....
is the price too high? how about $399.99 shipped? lol

Oooh a whole penny off?
Seriously Chris, if these are not gone by mid-December they will make a VERY nice x-mas gift to myself, indeed. Let me know. BTW, are they painted Silver Gray (A08 paint code)?

I have some mirror motors I am willing to sell to offset this exchange between you guys.
Umi gets motors
Wi8 gets mirrors with motors
I get moneys for motors I won't be using. (was going to get rep mirrors but decided I liked the standard mirror's look on my car more)
Win, win, win!!!!!
Just throwing it out there.
