It's funny that this topic comes up because I was literally just looking at this last night. I personally love the look of the M3/1M mirrors but there are a couple concerns. It costs A LOT, especially if you go the CF caps route and secondly, I'm not quite sure that it works on the car from certain angles without some kind of widebody. Especially the front. In saying that. I know of a supplier in germany that sells these kits at a really reasonable price. 499 Euro before shipping. United sells them at about US$750 I think. If you go CF caps all up you'd be looking at around AUD$1400-1500 shipped... But yeah, feel free to PM me if you want to order the mirrors anyway and I can link you to the site. I'm looking to possibly grab something from the same supplier so we may as well save on shipping. Which coincidentally is very reasonable from that supplier the last time I used him. |

It even fits an E87 Quote:
If you want to find out where you can get them, just send me a PM and I can give you a few details. |

Genuine BMW parts except for the CF Caps. They're Autotechnika. Full replacements though, not slip-on covers. Actually cost less to get them than to get the OEM caps painted. |

But yeah I remember seeing the full replacement CF caps on ebay for a great price. It's a pity they don't make standard full replacement CF caps for our cars...the slips on look shit (pardon my french). How's the quality on them? |

The quality of the caps is fantastic: They're actually a 3X3 weave - which I did't realise until after I'd bought them but I really like it... |

Thanks.... and yeah, BMWP stuff is all 2X2 but the mirrors are far enough away from any other CF stuff on the car that you'd actually have to go looking for a difference...

The electronics work with RHD and the Glass is the same on both sides. Slightly blue tint, with the Convex "section" at the outside, and the vertical separator line. |

Could you confirm whether the housings you have are OEM and if so, when you say omni sided, do you mean that the angles on the RHD and the LHD housings are the same? I read that the M3 E92 housings are different so some owners had difficulties when fitting LHD housings to RHD housings. |
