I love the mirrors. Any ideas of how to get those?

Check out the hood and the engine. SWEET.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

The mirrors look like the original e39 M5 mirrors which I was looking into installing the past week or so. The good thing about the M5 mirrors too is, that you can get them with the fold in option if you have it (like me) and it will also have the option where the passanger mirror tilts when in reverse if you have that option also (like me)!!! Nice post! Love the sound and always wondered what the M5 mirrors would look like on the X!

I want those mirrors, and the whole body kit for that matter. How much modification would it take to have E39 M5 mirrors put on?

yeah those are pricey... not to mention you will also have to get them painted to match your vehicle.

The standard M5 mirrors will not just fit straight on as the base is a different shape. I have looked closly into this mod and the M5 mirrors on the LEMANS X are specially made for it. It uses the original X5 base which is molded at the point where it meets the M5 mirror, so to do the conversion, it would involve buying a set of M5 mirrors, then removing the mirror from the base, then having a VERY VERY good body shop custom mold the X5 base to work correctly and line up correctly with the M5 mirrors. I'm seriously thinking of having a go at this mod.
The M5 steering wheel is a simple swap although I'm not fussed on it as its quite large plus if you were going to do that mod you may as well opt for the e46 M3 wheel or a step further and add the SMG wheel.

If you do go at it, please let us know how it goes, and how much it ended up costing you,
