SUCCESS ...

... many thanks to Verbalkint, asawadude, Dblock2151 and special mention to IFlyX5 ... this was finally done. I am surprised that this whole ordeal ONLY took 10 days to address. Of course this included ordering new hardware that I broke along the way.

Attached are some pictures

One note to others who might want to attempt this retro, my X5 did not come with the Sport Option and therefore the trims were matt black whereas the motorized replacement mirror housing were glossy black. Took me some time to transfer the electronics from the new motorized foldable unit to my matt black housing that came along with my X5.

I hope you enjoy these pics. Now towards my next MOD --- PDC --- stay tune to my questions on another thread.
