Has anyone purchased these mirrors? I just want to reassurance that they will indeed fit the ti. How about the quality of them as well? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-M...76210977QQrdZ1 Thanks Josh |  |  | | 06-16-2006, 06:11 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Potomac, Maryland Posts: 230 |
looks right, but doesnt seem like their OEM, it says 4 door, which means they should fit our cars because the doors are based on a 4 door BMW sedan. Too cheap to be real i think, aftermarket  | | | | | 06-16-2006, 06:17 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 |
I figured they are aftermarket. The OE mirrors are expensive. I think the quality of them sounds good, ABS plastic with aliminum base. | | | | | 06-16-2006, 06:42 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 |
Those look just like mine that I bought from a fellow Ti'er. I saw those mirrors and I was going to buy them but $99 then $65 shipping was just way too much money for me. But it is still cheaper then buying OEM. If those are the same as mine, they are very nice and very good quality. the extra wide mirror is very helpful as well. __________________  my new world | | | | | 06-16-2006, 06:46 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 |

They seem worth the price. I bought a set of German made M3 mirrors from a seller in Germany. The base was plastic not aluminum. I sure wish the base was aluminum, because the plate arrived damaged. Quote: | Originally Posted by madfronter | __________________

I'm gonna leave them the flat black color since my car is black and the paint on my original mirrors are getting rock chips all the time. Your car looks really good L8! I really like the lip you have on the bumper. Where did you get it? Who make it? I was thinking about the M3 front bumpewr but I kinda like the look of the normal front bumper with the lip. | | | | | 06-17-2006, 05:11 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Toronto Posts: 167 |
Tell us how the build quality is once you get them. If they are good i might buy a set as well. | | | | | 06-17-2006, 07:00 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
The front lip is from Reiger. It has one drawback. If you lower your car, the clearance is only about 3 to 4 inches from the ground. I've already scraped and cracked the corner. If you don't lower the car, it's a quick and easy way to add a nice look without the hassles. In my case, I'm gonna eventually get the M-tech bumper, so I can add clearance.

Did you get the mirrors yet? Hows the quality? | | | | | 06-28-2006, 04:48 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 |

The mail man wouldn't leave the package on my porch without the signed waiver. I signed the waiver and left it in my mail box for the mail guy hoping he will leave the package on my porch today. As soon as I get them and have a chance to examine them I'll let you know what I think of them. | | | | | 07-07-2006, 04:37 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 |
I got around to picking up the mirrors at the post office this past saturday. I think they are very good quality mirrors. They are flat black in color and ABS plastic with aluminum base. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for M-Tech mirrors. I'll post pictures of the mirrors on my car as soon as I have a chance to take some. | | | | |
